274 Mr. T. D. A. CJockeiell on Fossil Arthropods 



The specimens in Burmese amber (Imrmite) are also of 

 Teitiaiv ag(», and were sent by Mr. R.. C. J. Swinlioe, of 

 Mandalav, wlio kindly presents them to the British Museum. 

 The character aud age of the beds has been discussed in 

 earlier papers, particularly Amer. Jourii. Science, Aug. 11U6,

PSEUDOSCORPIONIDA. 



Oarypus hurmiticuSj sp. n. (Fig. 1.) 



Legs and pedipalpi intense black ; apparently no tro- 

 chantins. Pedipalp wiih coxa elongated, produced apically ; 

 femur ordinary, rather stout, about 450 fi long ; tibia about 

 350 fx long, very stout, obtusely angulate on inner side ; hand 

 long (about 800 fi), with a narrow neck, followed by a broad

base which tapers gradually to the apex, the outer margin 

 beyond tlie basal curve being practically straight ; the pedi- 

 ])alp has very few hairs, longest on the hand. Jaw with a 

 long serrula, not detached apically ; no flagellum ; stylet 

 present. 



Burmese amber, from R. C. J. Swinhoe. 



Represented by a cast skin, about 6 mm., from the type of 

 Epyris atavellus. The serrula, shown in the figure, is about 



70 fj. long. 



1 concluded that this could go in Garypus, and, sending a 

 copy of my figures to Dr. N. Banks, am informed by him 

 that, so far as these go, thtro is no leasoii for objecting to the 

 leference. Among the sjiecies of Baltic amber there is a 

 resemblance in the pedipalp to Ohisixim rathkii, Kocii and 

 Berendt, though in our Garypvs the hand is conspicuously 

 more attenuate.
