unlikely that it also came from Turfa or some neighboring spot. 
The terga are granular throughout, except for the smooth promi- 
nence in the middle, and more coarsely behind than in front. The 
tail is about four times the length of the carapace, which is slightly 
shorter than its Ist and 2d segments; the vesicle is much en- 
larged, its height being equal to the width of the 4th segment and 
its width to the width of the 2d. The chelz are like those of the @ 
in sculpturing,— except that the external keel is distinctly crenu- 
late, — but the posterior lobe is a little more widely rounded. The 
digits are dentate as in the ¢ of phzllipsiz, and exitialis. Pectinal

Measurements in millimetres: Total length, 105; length of 
tail, 56; of carapace, 14; of hand-back, 10; of movable digit, 
14025 width of hand, 15. 
Four other examples were also obtained, and these differ from 
the two described in having the legs reddish brown or reddish 
ereen in color instead of a bright reddish yellow. In this char- 
acter they show resemblance to Sc. gregortz and not to Sc. phillipsiz. 
But in the sculpturing of the hand they are evidently one with 
Se. smithit. 
The following characters about them may be noticed : — 
(1) @ from Silul in Somaliland. Total length, 114mm.; length 
of tail, 57; of carapace, 16.2. ; width of hand, 17.3 ; length of movable 
digit, 15.5. Pectinal teeth, 19-20. 
(2) Smaller 2? from Hargesa in Somaliland, 5,000 ft. alt. Total 
length, 106; length of tail, 51.5; of carapace, 15; width of hand 
14.5; length of movable digit, 16. Number of pectinal teeth, 18. 
Thus in this example the hand is not so wide as in the preceding, 
being less than the length of the movable digit. 
(3) ¢& (without special locality). Total length, 110; length of 
tail, 5O5- of carapace, 15'; width of hand, 15.5; lensth of digit, 
16.5; pectinal teeth, 21. The hand is very coarsely and sharply 
tubercular all over, the margin especially so, and the external crest 
is distinctly denticulate posteriorly. As in the type d example, 
the vesicle is much swollen, its width equalling the width of the 
2d segment and its height the width of the 3d. 
(4) Younger ¢ (without special locality), with carapace 12.5 
mm. and tail 51, agrees with the ¢ mentioned above, except that 
the vesicle is smaller. Both of them differ from the ¢ type exam- 
ple in having the hand a little narrower than the length of the 
movable digit. Pectinal teeth, 21-21.
