respect. They are in two curved rows, forming a transverse oval figure, about 
double as long as it is broad at its broadest diameter. The eyes of the hinder 
row are equi-distant from each other. The fore central eyes are rather nearer 
together than each is to the lateral of the same row on its side. "Those.of each 
lateral pair are seated slightly obliquely on a not very prominent tubercle, and 
are near to each other, but not contiguous. 
The Legs are long and tolerably strong ; their relative length is 1, 2, 4, 3, 
and they are furnished with spines (not very long nor strong), and with 
numerous—some nearly erect—hairs of different lengths. The colour of those 
of the two foremost pairs is yellow-brown, the femora and genue being darker 
than the rest, and with a very faint indication of a paler annulation both on 
the femora and tibie. The two hinder pairs are similarly coloured, but have 
two distinctly marked yellow annulations on each of the femoral and tibial 
joints; each tarsus terminates with three curved claws; the superior ones 
pectinated beneath the hinder half; the inferior one much the smallest, and 
strongly bent downwards near its base, where it has one or two teeth. 
The Palpi are rather long and slender ; they are of a reddish-yellow brown 
colour, the basal part of the radial joint being pale yellow brown, shading off 
into the redder part. The humeral joint is bent inwards ; the radial is more 
than double the length of the cubital joint, and rather strongest at its fore 
extremity, near the outer side of which are two small apophyses ; that nearest 
the base of the digital joint is the largest, of a flattened form and truncate 
extremity, the other (behind it) is sharp pointed, and of a somewhat tooth-like 
form. There is also a small prominent point beneath the larger apophysis 
. above-mentioned. The digital joint is small, oval, but its extremity is greatly 
produced in a long cylindrical form, being a greatly exaggerated example of a 
somewhat similar form in Argyroneta and Tegenaria. The length of the 
digital joint considerably exceeds that of the radial and cubital together, being 
about equal to that of the humeral joint. The palpi, like the legs, are furnished 
with a few slender spines and long hairs ; of the former are several longish 
conspicuous ones on the digital joints. The palpal organs are contained within 
the oval basal part of the digital joints ; they consist of a simple whitish oval 
lobe, with a red-brown corneous lateral margin, probably an independent, 
though closely adhering, spine, but this I could not ascertain satisfactorily ; 
there are also a sharp-pointed dark red-brown spine on their inner side, and a 
stronger obtuse corneous projection near their extremity, and a small one o 
the outer side, : 
The Falces are long, strong, divergent, and projecting forwards ; their 
length is very nearly equal to that of the cephalo-thorax ; the fangs are long 
and strong, and beneath them are several strong sharp teeth along the inner 
side of the falces, which are of a deep rich reddish chestnut brown colour, and
