ently cavernicolous spiders are known from different localities 
in Burma and the Siamese Malay States. 
One of the spiders (Talanites cavernicola, Thorell) belongs 
to the family Drassidae. Thorell described this species from 
a single mutilated specimen obtained by Fea in the Farm Caves, 
and we believe it to be the one common on the floor of the 
large Farm Cave and of the Guano Cave at Dhammathat. 
The other two spiders are Pholcids and spin webs among 
rocks in the caves, but it is very doubtful whether either of 
them is strictly cavernicolous ; indeed, one of the two, which 
lives on the walls in the Farm Caves, is also found in the Karen 
Cheba Hills ; this is Althepus pictus, Thorell. The other species 
(Pholcus diopsis, Simon) is only known from the caves of Jalor. 
everal mites were found on the bat Rhinopoma micro- 
phyllum from the Guano Cave in Dhammathat, one of which 
has been referred by Warburton to the genus Uropoda.

The only Crustacea recorded from the caves are two 
wood-lice, one described from Jalor and one recorded from the 
Batu Caves near Selangor. It is noteworthy that although the 
former (Armadillo infuscatus, Budde-Lund) is paler in colour 
some species of its genus, it is no paler than one (4. pal-
