340 Mr. G. E. H. Barrett-Hamilton on 
directed process on the palpal organ fusiform and apically 
pointed, not clavate, and with its posterior edge not incurved. 
Total length 9 millim.; carapace 4; second leg 23, fourth 19. 
Loc. Enkeldoorn (J. ff Darling). 
Sparassus spintpalpis, sp. n. 
3d .—Differing from the preceding two species in having 
the tibia of the first and second legs armed inferiorly with 
three pairs of spines and especially in the structure of the 
palpus. Palpus with patella armed externally with a pair of 
very long sinuous spines, which run forward in contact with 
each other, reaching almost to the tip of the tibia; tibia 
longer than wide, subcylindrical, without external prominence 
or inferior excavation; the apophysis short, subsuperior, 
oblong, with its external distal angle produced into a short 
process ; tarsus of palp and palpal organ much resembling 
that of Sarotestus melanognathus, Poc., from Nyasaland (Ann. 
& Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) 11. p. 443, 1898, pl. xiil. fig. 6). 
Length of carapace 5 millim., of second leg 22, of fourth 
leg 20. 
Loc. Salisbury (G. A. K. Marshall). 
Thomisus spiculosus, sp. n. 
Allied to 7. anthobius, Poc., but with the carapace and 
legs much more coarsely tubercular and more bristly, and 
with the bridge separating the two pits of the vulva long 
and narrow, though expanding at each end. 
Total length 105 millim.; carapace 4:2; length of first 
leg 12°5, of fourth 9.

XLIV.—Note on the Kliomys of Sardinia. 
By G. E. H. Barrerr-Haminton. 
] HAVE just had an opportunity of examining a few specimens 
of Eliomys taken in Sardinia. They are distinct enough 
from any other known form to deserve a separate name. 
Accordingly I propose that the Sardinian dormouse be known 
as Lliomys sardus, the consideration of its exact status as a 
species or subspecies being reserved until we know more 
about the genus. 
Eliomys sardus is like E. quercinus in colour and other 
characters, but may be distinguished by its tail, which is
