Tlic Anatomij of Opisthopatus cinctipcs. 99 



The former is known, however, only from a single locality (Lions 

 Hill), and of the latter I have seen only four specimens ; so it is 

 very probable that, when more specimens become known from other 

 localities, these two species also will be found to vary in colour, like 

 the others of the genus. 



2. Peripatopsis capensis (Grube, Sedgw. emend.). 



I have to record five new localities for this species : — 

 {a) Hottentots Holland Mountains, Caledon Div. I found a couple 

 of specimens under stones alongside a small stream on the south-east 

 slope near the summit. There were no trees of any sort near this 

 locality, the ground being perfectly open. One of the specimens was 

 of a brick-red colour with dark upper lateral stripes, just like type 

 No. 2 (described on p. 97). The other specimen was reddish green, 

 becoming pure green in spirits. 



(b) Frenchhoek, in the Paarl Div. I found a single specimen 

 under a log near Mr. Kriel's Boarding House. 



(c) Houw Hoek, Caledon Div. I found 4 reddish specimens 

 (belonging to colouration type, No. 2, p. 97) and 1 black one, 

 all with 17 pairs of legs, in the ravines in the middle of 

 August. 



(cl) Caledon. Sixteen ^ and 5 ? under stones in the Venster 

 Eavine (collected by Mr. and Mrs. Ewald Watermeyer, my wife and 

 myself, in the middle of i\ugust), all with 17 pairs of legs and mostly 

 darkly coloured. 



(e) Swellendam. Four <J and 4 ? with 17, and 4 3" and 2 ? with 

 18 pairs of claw-bearing legs found by Mr. H. A. Fry and myself 

 in the forest on the mountain-side near the town. They varied in 

 ■colour from blackish blue to greenish brown. Those with 18 pairs 

 of legs resembled the normal capensis from the Cape Peninsula in 

 size, width of middle spinous pad, structure of genital segment, and 

 shape of dorsal papilla3, and are undoubtedly mere local varieties of 

 this species. 



3. Peylpatopsis vioseleyi (Wood-M.). 



In my previous paper several specimens from the Katberg Forest 

 and from Eichmond were briefly noticed and doubtfully referred to 

 as possible new species (Nos. 4, 5, and 6 on p. 340) on account of 

 the presence of a distinct although ciawless and rudimentary foot on 

 the rudimentary leg on each side of the genital opening. These 

 specimens possessed 20 or 21 pairs of claw-bearing legs, while several
