400 APPENDIX C. 
Two immature examples, apparently belonging to this species, 
but having the tubercles on the hand less conical and acute, were 
also obtained at Ahdeh, 3,000 ft. and Boholgarshan in Somaliland. 
It is interesting to notice that in the six adult examples the 
width of the hand exceeds the length of carapace, whereas in the 
three known specimens of Sc. phillipsit the hand is narrower 
than the length of the carapace. 
The relation of this species to the rest of the section to which it 
belongs is shown in the following key : — 
a. Lower surface of humeral segment of chela coarsely granu- 
lar at the base; hand furnished below with two coarsely granular 
crests; lower surface of fourth tarsus armed with three or four 
spines behind and two in front; tarsal lobes with three spines, the 
upper strong... as : 5) CLAS PROC: 
6. Lower surface of ders segment bp chela smooth below; 
hand not crested below; lower surface of fourth tarsus with six 
spines behind and three or four in front; upper spine of tarsal lobe 
weak or absent (2. ¢., represented by a bristle). 
a! Tarsal lobe armed with three spines, the uppermost on 
the apex but smaller than the lower ones, and filiform at the 
tips; manus flatter, with the sculpturing spreading over the 
lobe. 
a2 Ornamentation of hand consisting of conical tubercles ; 
inner margin of the hand distinctly tubercular from base of 
finger to articulation of wrist; hand wider than length of cara- 
pace’) pectinalitecth, 19=21. 7 = 2 ~ .  smithit 
6? Ornamentation of hand consisting or iouen rounded or 
irregular shaped, often anastomosing tubercles; lobe of the 
hand with smooth posterior margin; length of carapace ex- 
ceeding width of hand; pectinal teeth, 15-17. phzllipsiz, POC. 
6! Tarsal lobe without a superior apical spine, armed here with 
bristles; hand more strongly convex, its tubercular ornamentation 
weaker than in pXz//ipszz and failing on the posterior extremity of 
the lobe; which is smooth above... 5-4, 9-) 9... 974207722, LOC.
