tips are always slightly serrate and these tips show no sharp li- 
mits, as is the case with the basal part of the spines. 
The legs are robust and not very long; their length in the 
young specimens does not reach twice the length of the body ; with 
the largest (probably eldest also) specimen it slightly exceeds that 
length. The first three joints are short; of the following three the 
first is the longest and the thickest, the third the shortest and the 
thinnest. Of the tarsal joints the first is a little longer than the 
second, which bears at its extremity a strong claw, which is but 
little shorter than the second tarsal joint. There are no auxiliary 
claws and as. I have already said above the legs are almost quite 
smooth. Slight differences in the length of the different legs are I 
think not remarkable enough to mention them here. 
As a rule the colour is a light yellow, one of the specimens 
however has a dark-orange colour, whereas other specimens are 
slightly furnished with red lines at the ends of the joints of the 
legs etc. The genital pores of both sexes are found at the se- 
cond joint of all the legs, where they as a rule are placed at the 
tip of a small conical excrescence. A characteristic mark of this spe- 
cies is furnished by the regular windings, described by the blind 
excrescences of the intestine, which penetrate the legs andare easily 
observed with the naked eye through the chitinous covering of the leg.
