legs in colour. and armature, and furnished with a scopula beneath 
the digital joints. 
The falees are tolerably long and strong, of a darker hue than 
the cephalothorax, straight but sloping on their inner sides towards 
the extremity, where they are furnished with long reddish hairs. 
The mawxille are rather long and strong, broadest towards their 
extremity, where they are rounded, straight, but inclined slightly to 
the labium ; they are of a reddish yellow colour, palest at their fore 
extremity, where they are furnished thickly with a fringe of strong 
reddish hairs. 
The /abium is of a somewhat oblong form, half the length of the 
maxillee, with a convex outer surface and truncated at the apex, its 
colour being similar to that of the maxille. 
The sternum is heart-shaped, paler-coloured than the labium, and 
clothed with hairs. 
The abdomen is oblong-oval, tolerably convex above, rather broad 
behind, rounded at the posterior extremity, and truncated before ; 
it is clothed with brown, greyish-sandy, and yellow-brown hairs, and 
is of a foxy yellow-brown colour, margined above with a broad but 
not very clearly defined dull yellowish border; the greater part 
of the underside is occupied by a large vase-shaped dark red-brown 
area, the fore extremity of which has a whitish-yellow border ; 
the spinners are short, those of the superior pair the strongest. 
The genital aperture is small, much obscured by hairs, but apparently 
somewhat crescent-shaped. 
A single example in the Rev. G. Brown’s collection. 
4. Notes on the Anatomy of the Musk-Deer (Moschus mos- 
chiferus). By A. H. Garrop, M.A., F.R.S., Prosector 
to the Society. 
[Received March 38, 1877.] 
In the large collection of living animals brought home by the 
Prince of Wales from India were two male specimens of the Musk- 
Deer (Moschus moschiferus), nearly adult, from Nepaul, presented 
to His Royal Highness by Sir Jung Bahadoor, whose sudden death 
has been so recently announced. As far as I am aware, the only 
other individual of the species which had been seen alive in this 
country, was the female presented by Sir Richard Pollock, K.C.S.I., 
on March 31st, 1869, to this Society, which formed the subject of 
Professor Flower’s valuable memoir published in our ‘ Proceedings’ 
(1875, p. 159). 
On Feb. 2nd of this year one of the Prince’s specimens died at 
Sandringham ; and His Royal Highness having graciously given per- 
mission that a post-mortem might be made upon it, Mr. Clarence 
Bartlett placed it in my hands. 
Pathologically it did not present any features of special interest,
