strong. Moreover, the labium is furnished with eiglit cusps 

 instead of two. The legs also are longer, the carapace being 

 shorter and not longer than the patella + tibia + protarsus of 

 the second leg, and only slightly exceeding the tibia + pro- 

 tarsus of the fourth. 



Total length 35 millim. ; carapace 15 ; second leg 28, its 

 pat., tib., and prot. 16 ; fourth leg 33, its tibia and pro- 

 tarsus 14"5. 



Loc. Cuylerville, near Grahamstown {Dr. Schonland).

Stasimopus Schonlandi, Poc. (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) 

 vi. p. 319, 1900); differs from S. oculatus and S. artifex 

 principally in the following particulars : — The ocular area is 

 typically relatively very flat, the tubercles of the anterior 

 lateral eyes being small and low and the anterior median eyes 

 but little raised. The anterior laterals are, as a rule, small 

 and no larger than the anterior medians or posterior laterals, 

 and all the eyes are widely spaced, the distance between the 

 anterior medians and laterals being equal to about three or 

 four times the diameter of the clear area of the medians and 

 always greater than the long diameter of the laterals. The 

 distance between anterior median and anterior lateral about 

 equal to that between the two laterals on each side. The 

 eyes, however, vary considerably, being larger, and therefore 

 apparently much closer together in younger specimens than 

 in the old. There are no spines on the apex of the underside 

 of the protarsus on the third leg, and the comb on thepostero- 

 inferior side of the fourth protarsus consists o£ a compact 

 single row of about six or seven spines. The carapace is as 

 long as the pat. + tib. -|- prot. of first leg, longer than those of 

 the second, and nearly as long as the tib. + prot. + tarsus of 

 fourth. 



Measurements in millimetres (of large specimen). — Total 

 length 33; carapace 14-5 j second leg 22*5, its pat. -4- tib. + 

 prot. 13"5 ; fourth leg 33. 



The British Museum has received a large number of speci- 

 mens of this species from Grahamstown {Dr. Schonland) and 

 Brak Kloof, near Grahamstown {Mrs. Wliite). 



Stasimopus asiutus, sp. n. 



? . — Very nearly allied to S. Schonlandi, but distinguish- 

 able by the relative size of the eyes of the anterior line. The 

 laterals transversely elongated, rcniform, their long diameter 

 exceeding that of the medians, the space between the lateral
