The Cephalon is elongated, but not much enlarged in diameter, with a very 
slightly constricted neck between the first pair of lateral processes and the small 
body-processes from which the ovigers arise, and which are plainly visible dorsally. 
The anterior margin of the cephalon is angular, and the Ocular tubercle arises at its 
front. This is stout, directed very slightly forwards, and terminates in a point above 
the four well-developed eyes; the anterior pair are larger than the posterior. 
The Abdomen is long, not articulated to the trunk, and slightly enlarged before 
it terminates in a blunt point; it is directed upwards to a moderate extent. The 
length of the body is 11mm., its width 4°75mm., and the length of the abdomen is 
375mm. A few small, stiff setee occur dorsally at the posterior margin of the segments 
and at the extremity of the lateral processes. 
The Proboscis is stout, cylindrical, rounded at the extremity; the mouth is 
small. Ventrally it measures 4mm. in length and, except in the mid-ventral line, it is 
closely covered with small, stiff sete. It is ventral in position, directed obliquely 
downwards, and articulated to the trunk. 
The Chelifori are well developed, and arise close together above and in front of the 
proboscis. The scape is long and stout, projecting beyond the extremity of the proboscis, 
though only 4mm. long. It is divided by a distinct joint into two sub-equal portions 
and covered completely with short, stiff sete; the second joint is expanded distally 
and has an oblique termination. The chela is well developed, the palm being rather 
shorter than the joimts of the scape, but like them densely setose. The dactyli are 
set on its inner extremity and lie transversely. They are short and stout, smooth 
without teeth ; the movable one is the larger, and has a setose pad at the base. 
The Palps are stout, single-jointed, rather long stumps; they arise from the sides 
of the cephalon about the middle of its length. 
The Ovigers are ten-jointed, without terminal claw or denticulate spines (fig. 4a). 
The appendage arises on a small process of the body in front of the first lateral 
process. The first ‘Joint is short and very stout; the second is at least twice as long, 
slender proximally, much dilated distally ; the third is shorter, and the oblique 
articulation of this joint with the next renders the fourth to all imtents and purposes 
lateral; the fourth is the longest of the appendage and stout; the fifth shorter, 
and the sixth shorter still. The limb is curved in the form of an §S, the first three 
joints forming the curve in one direction, the three following curve in another. 
Of the four terminal joints the seventh is short, the eighth is longer, the ninth and 
tenth progressively shorten. The entire appendage is setose, the sete are small 
and rather sparse proximally, becoming more numerous to the fifth joint; from that 
joint onward they are longer, but quite simple, and more completely clothe the joints. 
The Legs extend to about 388mm. Of the three coxze the second is fully twice as 
long as the other two together, and bears a low rounded tuberele dorsally, just beyond 
the middle of its length. The first coxa carries dorsally a stout but short tubercular 
process, similar to, but smaller than, that of the lateral process. The proportions of
