296 ME. E. I. POCOCK OF THE AEACHNIDA ATSD MTEIOPODA 



specimen from the Isthmus, Aden, obtained by Mr. E. W. Gates, 

 which measures 144 mm. in length. The specimens described 

 by Simon from Aden were females. Dr. Jayakar has also sent 

 us the species from Muscat.

Log, Hadramaut. 



This species was described from two examples sent to the 

 British Museum from Muscat by Dr. A. G. Jayakar. The spe- 

 cimen from the Hadramaut merely differs from the types in 

 being a little paler-coloured, the cephalic area being blotched 

 with ferruginous patches iustead of being ferruginous all over. 



Prof. Kraepelia (Abh. nat. Yer. Hamburg, xiii. 1895) has 

 recently, in his characteristically sweeping manner, disposed of all 

 the difficulties which beset the determination of the nearly allied 

 species of this genus, by setting them all down as synonyms of 

 each other. I would, however, warn those who work at this 

 group, that I am not acquainted with a particle of evidence that 

 the species named Jayahari, Phipsoni, and pusillus are the same. 

 They are, on the contrary, perfectly distinct. I think, however, 

 that it is highly possible that JayaTiari will prove to be the same 

 as Deflersi of Simon, described from Obock.
