equal to its own anterior width ; length of the median lamina of the seventh about 

 two-thirds the length of that plate. Palp with femur, patella, tibia and tarsus 

 about three-quarters the length of the carapace ; the femur and patella stout, the 

 tibia and tarsus thinner. Trochanter and femur of first leg about as long as the 

 first four terga of the opisthosoma ; of fourth leg about as long as the first five 

 terga. 



Measurements in mm. (of type).— Total length 25 ; length of carapace 9, width 8 ; 

 length of opisthosoma 16, width about 1(3; median length of its first tergum 2'8, 

 of second + third 3; four distal segments of palpus 6; trochanter and femur of 

 first leg 7, the rest of the limb 8-5; trochanter and femur of second about 7, the

Dudley, and Cosele}', near Dudley. 



The type of this species is a cast (No. 12148), in the Geological Survey Museum, 

 of the underside of the dorsal surface of a specimen from Dudley belonging to 

 Dr. Kidston. 



In addition to this I have seen the following specimens which may be referred 

 to the same species. 



(1) One in Dr. Hind's Collection showing the dorsal surface from the lower side 

 and the ventral surface from the upper side, with the palpi and the four pairs of 

 ambulatory limbs at least as far as the extremities of the femora ; also the coxa3, 

 represented by hollow spaces, and the intervening sternal area. The first leg 

 appears to be relatively longer than in the type and has a considerably larger 

 angular prominence in front ; and the first tergal plate of the opisthosoma seems
