those on the sides are somewhat enlarged and tooth-like, 



perhaps the most conspicuous being the one which is 

 placed above the eye. (Fig. '!.)

Chelicera. — A minute denticle is present dorsally on the 

 inner side of the proximal segment at a little distance from 

 its apex, and a few very minute granules also occur at the 

 sides below. 



Second segment slightly longer and much stouter than the 

 proximal one. Two processes (or teeth) are present on the 

 inner side of its dorsal surface near the proximal end, the 

 more distal of the two being much the larger; another 

 denticle is situated at a little distance to the outer side of 

 these two processes; several granules bearing tine hairs occur 

 near the base of the immovable finger; a fine line, composed 

 of microscopic granules, runs from the larger process of the 

 dorsal surface to the base of the immovable finger ; near the 

 base on the inner side below a curiously shaped projection is 

 present, and in the middle of the (ventral) surface a pair of 

 dentiform processes (or teeth) are present, one on each side of 

 the segment. 



Proximal tooth of the row (of four) on the edge of the 

 immovable finger larger than the others ; besides these teeth 

 on the edge a denticle is present on the inner side. A very 

 large tooth is present on the edge of the movable finger 

 at an equal distance between its proximal end and the three
