stouter, the segments more excavated above; vesicle much 
more globular than in nove-holland/w, being wider, higher, 
and shorter ; aculeus also shorter and rather more curved. 
Palpi almost as in nove-hollandie, but the hands more 
robust. 
The following measurements in millimetres of the type of 
this species (A) and of an example of nove-hollandice (B) of 
the same sex and nearly the same size will show the diffe- 
rences between the two species with respect to the size of the 
tail and hands :— 
A. Total length 48:5, of carapace 6'8, of tail 26; length of 
tail-segments 1 to 5, 2°7,3°1,3°5, 3°8, 5°38; width of the same 
segments, 3°95, 3°1, 3, 2°7, 2°5; vesicle, width 2°6, height 2, 
length 3:3; length of aculeus 2°3; width of brachium 2-1, of 
‘ manus 5°); length of hand-back 5:1, of movable digit 6:5. 
B. Length of carapace 7, of tail 29; length of tail-segments 
1 to 5, 8, 3°5, 3°9, 4°2,7; width of the same segments, 3:2, 3, 
2°9, 2°7, 2°5; vesicle, width 2°4, height 1-9, length 3-8; length 
of aculeus 38; width of brachium 2:5, of manus 4°5; length 
of hand-back 5°6, of movable digit 6°2. 
Unfortunately I have only the one specimen of U. Wood- 
wardu for examination; but small examples of nove-hollandie 
from Perth, both older and younger than the one measured, 
show similar differences to it from the type of U. Woodwardit. 
This species also differs from nove-hollandiw in being much 
smoother and in having the frontal lobes of the carapace more 
rounded. In both these respects, as also in the robustness of 
the hand, it approaches U. abrupétus, but in the latter the 
superior caudal keels are more elevated and posteriorly spini- 
form.

Scorptops Peterstt, sp.n. (Pl. XIV. fig. 10.) 
Scorpiops Hardwickii, Peters and Karsch (not of Gervais). 
Colour blackish brown ; feet, vesicle, and chelicere yellow, 
with a smooth yellow spot at the extremity of the upper edge 
of the femur and a similar spot on the anterior face of the 
second segment of the palpi. 
Carapace granular throughout, but not coarsely, the median 
groove smooth; the anterior border deeply excised, with
