Measurements in millimetres. — Total length from anterior border of 

 head to anus 46, length of head 8'8, width 13'5, length of mandible 

 17'2, of palp 41'5, its tibia 13'3, protarsus and tarsus 13'8, of fourth 

 leg 54, its tibia 12, protarsus 9'5. 



$ Easily to be recognised from the 9 by it smaller size, relatively 

 narrower head, weaker mandibles, bearing a flagellum, extremely long 

 legs, etc ; (cf. measurements). 



Head a little wider than long ; mandibles clothed above with stout 

 erect hairs for the protection of the flagellum ; flagellum with its basal 

 cylindrical portion about half the length of the terminal expanded por- 

 tion ; teeth in the distal half of the upper jaw rounded lobate, and 

 ill-defined ; on the lower jaw there are three small teeth between the 

 two large ones. The tarsi of the fourth legs have their first and second 

 segments clothed below with thick hairs, these hairs gradually 

 increase in thickness from their point of origin throughout about two- 

 thirds of their length, then gradually narrow to the apex, which is 

 rather blunt ; the third tarsal segment clothed below with normal hairs. 



The fifth abdominal sternum furnished posteriorly with a row in parts 

 double, of cylindrical slender, straight or bent, stout filiform hairs. 



Measurements in millimetres.' — Total length 31, length of head 6, 

 width 7'2, width of ocular tubercle 1*6, length of mandible 11, of palp 

 51, its tibia 17, its protarsus and tarsus 15*5, length of fourth leg 61, 

 its tibia 14'5, protarsus 12. 



In the same bottle as that containing the two specimens described 

 above from Gwalior there is a third example which appears to be an 

 immature female. The head and mandibles are considerably smaller 

 as compared with the length of the palpi and legs than in the 

 adult, and the specimen thus approaches the male. Moreover what 

 are stout short spines upon the protarsus of palpi of the adult are 

 long setiform spines in the young, so that it seems clear that ihe 

 shortness of these spines in the adult is due to fracture. Similar 

 changes with age seem to occur in many species of the genus 

 Galeodes. 



The late Dr. Stoliczka long ago suggested that the species described 

 by Captain Hutton as Galeodes vorax was identical with that which the 

 German authors, Lichtenstein and Herbst had previously named 

 fatalis. This conclusion is at all events perfectly justified by the fact that
