  This 
  process 
  suggests 
  that 
  of 
  Cnemodesmus 
  thi/sanopi(s, 
  but 
  is 
  

   much 
  more 
  pointed. 
  There 
  is 
  also 
  a 
  difference 
  in 
  that 
  the 
  joint 
  affected 
  

   is 
  crassate 
  in 
  Cnemodesmus 
  and 
  the 
  third 
  leg 
  is 
  there 
  also 
  provided 
  

   with 
  the 
  largest 
  process, 
  while 
  here 
  entirely 
  unarmed.

  Through 
  the 
  kindness 
  of 
  Professor 
  

   Kraepalin 
  I 
  have 
  had 
  the 
  opportunity 
  of 
  studying 
  types 
  of 
  this 
  spe- 
  

   cies. 
  The 
  above 
  description 
  differs 
  in 
  some 
  points 
  from 
  that 
  of 
  Attems, 
  

   who 
  found 
  the 
  dorsal 
  surface 
  granular, 
  and 
  overlooked 
  the 
  processes 
  of 
  

   the 
  fourth 
  and 
  fifth 
  legs, 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  sternum 
  of 
  the 
  fourth 
  legs. 
  There 
  

   is 
  also 
  no 
  distinct 
  constriction 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  segments, 
  as 
  in 
  Scolodes- 
  

   miis, 
  the 
  relative 
  x)roportions 
  of 
  the 
  segments 
  being 
  normal, 
  since 
  

   throughout 
  the 
  present 
  family 
  the 
  fifth 
  segment 
  is 
  abruptly 
  larger 
  than 
  

   those 
  which 
  precede 
  it. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  Berlin 
  Museum 
  (No. 
  y57a) 
  is 
  a 
  specimen 
  from 
  Wito 
  (Fischer) 
  

   which 
  has 
  been 
  reported 
  by 
  Professor 
  Karsch 
  as 
  Strongylosoma 
  hart- 
  

   mannV 
  The 
  specimen 
  is 
  not 
  now 
  available, 
  but 
  drawings 
  of 
  the 
  copu- 
  

   latory 
  legs 
  show 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  closely 
  related, 
  if 
  not 
  specifically 
  identical 
  

   with 
  the 
  types 
  of 
  longipes. 
  This 
  species 
  may 
  also 
  prove 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  synonym 
  

   of 
  Strongylosoma 
  aculeatum 
  Peters.
