On new BeptiUs and Batrachians from Celebes. 393 



points of structure, and fulling under section Z»' of the above 

 table, but easily recognizable from this species in the following 

 features : — 



Colour of trunk and tail a deep and uniform black, the 

 appendages deep green ; the three basal segments of tlie 

 chelfe paler green than the brachium and manus ; fingers 

 yellowish green ; femora and patellar of the legs also deeper 

 than the resr, the adjacent ends of these segments, as well as 

 the opposite end of the patella, conspicuously red; the max- 

 illary lobes of the tirst and second legs deeper green than the 

 rest of the coxse. 



Granulation of the trunk and tail and keels on the latter 

 developed as in triamjidiftr ; area of the vesicle below the 

 aculeus prominent, but only furnished with a tubercle, which 

 is considerably smaller than that of triamjaUfer. 



Pectinal teeth 18-18, 20-21 in ? , 18-20 in ^ ) the teeth 

 longer in the latter, but the basal tooth not enlarged in the 

 former. 



Vesicle of male modified as in U. trianguUfer^ and, as in 

 that species and in chhrodermus^ the spike on the hand is 

 larger in this sex than in the female. 



Measurements in millimetres. — ? , total length 40, cara- 

 pace 4, tail 22*0 ; ^J , total length 35, carapace 3"0, tail 22. 



Loc. Durban. 



A male and two females with many young were taken. It 

 is interesting to note that the young specimens, 8 millim. in 

 length, present the colouring of the adults with the exception 

 of being a little paler. 



Note. — In two papers upon African Scorpions recently 

 published (in the March and April issues of the ' Annals ') I 

 have recorded certain species from the Umfuli River, 

 Mashunaland ; but, owing to the partial obliteration of tlie 

 label, the altitude was given as 1200 feet. It is, in reality, 

 as Mr. Marshall informs me, 4200 feet, the exact spot being 

 known as Gadzima.
