Oueensland, and was a female. The island form, while differing somewhat 

 in abdominal ornamentation, ajipears sijecificallv inseparaljle from Keyser- 

 ling's species. The male is described as follows:

Ce])halothorax obovate. reddish brown, with a dark median band running 

 the entire length; thoracic segment distinct. Pars thoracica ascending, 

 strongly arched, obtuse: ocular area bmader than long, and occujiying entire 

 width of cephalic segment ; cl}'peus deej). Pars thoracica strongly arched, 

 broad. Eyes in two rows of four each, the anterior series being stronglj' 

 recurved, and the posterior procurved ; lateral pairs small, and nearly con- 

 tiguous. Legs short, strong, yellow, with dark-bro\\'n annulations, pubescent. 

 Relative lengths, 1, 4, 2, 3. Palpi short, similar in colour and cluthing to legs; 

 •genital bulb very large, nearly round, complicated. Falces small, arched, 

 vertical, yellowish ; fang long. Maxillae concolorous with foregoing, short,

ULESANIS CHELYS L. Koch. (L.H.L) 



An adult female and several immature examples from the summit of 

 Mount Gower.

Both sexes were cijllected, and these are alike both in size and colour. I 

 think there can be little doubt that the examples are identical with .Simons 

 species. In fact, the only dift'erence in the forms l^efore me and that of Simons 

 is that the former have the abdomen smnewhat darker than the type.
