MR. C. J. WITH ON SOME NEW SPECIES OF 



the distal ; the combined tarsi, o£ which the first is I'l as long as the second, 

 are 1*3 as long as the tibiae. The femur o£ the fourth pair o£ legs is about 3 

 as long as deep and the tarsal joints are about I'l as long as the tibia. 



Colour. — The palps, head, and darker band o£ tergites reddish brown ; rest 

 o£ body yellowish. 



Jfmswrmm^^.— Cephalothorax 0-690 (0-575) ; abdomen 1-38 (I'lO) mm. 



Palps : trochanter 0-253 (0-161) ; £emur 0*647 (0-161) ; tibia 0-445 

 (0-175) ; hand 0-483 (0-299), depth 0-276 ; finger 0-647 mm. 



Leg I. : femur i. 0-304 (0-099) ; femur ii. 0-170 (0-095) ; tibia 0-220 

 (0-065) ; tarsus I. 0-160 (0-053) ; tarsus ii. 0-140 (0-035) mm. 



Leg IV. : femur 0-456 (0-155), trochantin 0-114 ; tibia 0-342 (0-084) ; 

 tarsus I. 0-190 (0-061) ; tarsus ii. 0-175 (0-043) mm. 



Material. — Of this species I have examined Pocock's specimens from 

 Funafuti, collected by Professor Sollas ; typical specimens are from the 

 same island. 



Remarks. — The described species may at present be regarded as identical 

 with the form so imperfectly described by Rainbow. This species is nearly 

 related to G. irrugatus, Sim., but seems to differ by longer finger and even 

 more strongly convex anterior outline of the chela ; but nevertheless the 

 similarity is so great that I should not have maintained the two species, if 

 it had not been for the widely separated localities and the fact that they had 

 once been established. 



2. Garypus maculatus, sp. n. (Plate 9. figs. 21-25.) 



Cephalothorax (PL 9. fig. 21). — The anterior pair of eyes are placed on 

 lateral margin and removed from the front margin a distance about three 

 times their diameter. The cephalotliorax is as long as wide behind, and of 

 almost equal breadth at posterior margin and somewhat behind the eyes, 

 but is there suddenly attenuated, forming a long cucullus, which is directed 

 somewhat downwards and has a shallow incision in the middle of the front 

 margin. No transverse sutures were visible. The integument is distinctly 

 shagreened, most prominently in front and laterally ; the hairs are fairly long 

 and obtuse. 



Abdomen. — The abdomen is as broad as long and short obovate in shape ; 

 the darker parts of the tergites are strongly granular, while the lighter are 

 less distinctly so ; along the hindmost margin about 30 very short and thick 

 hairs are observed in addition to two lateral in front on each side. 



Antennw.—Th.e galea is exceedingly short, suddenly acute and not at all 

 extending beyond the terminal hair. The serrula exterior seems to be similar 

 .to that of G. elegans, Sim. The Jlagellum consists of a single hair. 



Palps (PI. 9. figs. 22 & 23). — The laterally shagreened maxillce are truncate 

 in front, with the manducatory part well defined posteriorly (fig. 23). The
