them contained the fiagelhnn, wliich was somewhat flattened, another 

 contained a few of the appendages and the third the animal, which 

 had its thorax crushed and the abdomen tiattened by the pres- 

 sure of the glass-cover. The animal is scarcely adult, but the 

 genital region was pressed so that I do not venture to pronounce 

 a final judgment. 



Head. The state of preservation does not allow me to say 

 anything about the frontal sense-organ. Of lateral sense-organs 

 two were found on the one side (I do not think that any was 

 broken off, but this is not certain) and they (fig. 2 a) are elon- 

 gate, about four and a half times longer than thick, with acute 

 and even acuminate apex. — The large sternum has eight hairs 

 ffig. 2 b) arranged as four pairs: four hairs stand as at the four 

 angles of a rectangle which is somewhat longer (in the direction 

 of the median line of the animal) than broad, the two other pairs 

 form a trapezoid within the rectangle. 



Chela. Each finger has eight spines and a rudimentary 

 one; the distal spine it not longer or thicker than the next; all 

 the spines with exception of the distal one seem to be slightly 

 trifid,. the median elongation being the longest. 



Palpi (fig. 2 c). They are slender. The tibia is more than 

 three and a half tiines longer than thick. The second metatar- 

 sal joint is much longer than the first and more than twice as 

 long as thick. 'I'he first tarsal joint is somewhat shorter than 

 the second, and the third joint is conspicuously shorter than 

 the first and the second together. 



Legs. They are slender. The first pair (fig. 2 d) has the 

 tibia more than three times longer than thick; the third meta- 

 tarsal joint is not longer than the fourth, with the stiff seta (s) 

 inserted at the middle; the last joint is about five times longer 

 than thick. — The last pair of legs (fig. 2 e) has the metatarsus 

 a little shorter than the two tarsal joints together, its sensory 

 seta (s) is inserted towards the middle of the joint, but being 

 broken its length is uncertain; the first tarsal joint is two thirds 

 as long as the second. 



Abdomen (fig. 2 f). Ventral sacs (p) are well developed on 

 the fourth, fifth and sixth segments; the distance between the sacs of 

 the same pair is a little shorter than the length of each slit. In ad-
