rather thick and suddenly pointed, is not crooked and is 

 provided with five teeth. The f/nlea, which is rather slender 

 and a little longer than the hair at its hase, is provided with 

 five teeth distally. The 2 1 teeth of the sernda are moderately 

 long ; the basal one is longer and is slightly and evenly 

 enlarged towards the extremity. 



Maxilla. — The maxillae are shagreened biterallv. 



Palps (fig. 2 a). — The palps are minutely granular, espe- 

 cially the inner surface of the joints, with the exception of 

 the trochanter, which is shagreened posteriorly. The hairs 

 are rather short, widened out and spinons distally. The 

 number and the arrangement of the tactile hairs of the 

 fingers are as in Ch. hawaiiensis, Sim. The trochanter, which 

 is longer than broad and distinctly stalked, is strongly but 

 evenly convex interiorly; the exterior outline is more abruptly 

 convex, and the distinction between the upper prominence 

 and the lower, which passes into the stalk, is well marked. 

 The femur, which has a short stalk and is narrower than the 

 trochanter, is 3*6 times longer than broad ; it is not gradually 

 and distinctly widened out towards the extremity; the inner 

 outline is almost straight ; the convexity of the outer side 

 begins just beyond the notch which marks off the stalk. The 

 tibia, which has a short, not very well-marked stalk, is dis- 

 tinctly shorter and a little broader than the femur ; both the 

 inner and the outer margins are slightly convex. The hand 

 which is as long as, but 1'6 times broader than, the tibia, is 

 distinctly convex both interiorly and exteriorly ; it is 1-9 

 times longer than broad, a little broader than high, and 

 scarcely longer than the fingers, which do not gape when 

 closed. In position and number the accessory teeth differ 

 from those described nnder Ch. haivaiiensis (p. 105) ; the 

 immovable finger has along the inner margin at least three 

 distally, and the movable one ; the former has at least five 

 exteriorly. 



Legs. — The hairs of the ventral side are pointed, long, and 

 more or less simple, while those of the dorsal side are shorter, 

 widened out, and provided with teeth. The dorsal " tactile " 

 hair of the fourth pair of tarsi is wanting. The lateral hairs 

 near the base of the claws are slightly curved, very similar 

 to those of Ch. hawaiiensis, Sim. (PI. VH. fig. 1 d). The Ic^s 

 are moderately long ; the trochanter of the fourth pair of 

 legs is only 1-5 longer than high. The femora of the first as 

 well as of the fourth pair are only four times longer than 

 high ; the tibiae are distinctly longer than the tarsi. 



Colour. — The maxillae and palps are brown, the former 

 more brilliant ; the cephalothorax and abdomen are brownish.
