(c) One g from Gordons Bay, Stellenbosch Div. (Dr. Geo. 
Corstorphine). The legs shorter than in the examples from the Cape 
Peninsula, the tibia of first leg scarcely 24 times as long as high, 
the carapace as long as the metatarsus together with nearly 1 of the 
tarsus of fourth leg and slightly longer than the tibia and metatarsus 
of first leg. 
(d) One ? from Darling, Malmesbury Div. 
These are the only localities known to me outside of the Penin- 
sula, but Pocock records a ¢ from Zululand and a young ? from 
Worcester. 
fH. atra is fairly common about the Peninsula and Robben Island. 
It lives in silk-lined holes under stones on the hillsides or in open 
sandy plains where there are no stones, sometimes utilising portions. 
of old mole burrows for its dwelling.

3. Colour of limbs and carapace a rich dark chestnut-brown or 
almost black; the under coat of short hairs on the limbs dark 
olivaceous, the long hairs pale foxy-red distally, the white transverse 
fringe at the apex of the segments very conspicuous; the hairs on 
the carapace uniformly dark olive-green, but some of those at the 
margins pale foxy-red at apex ; the rich dark olivaceous hairy coat of 
the abdomen almost uniform in colour, spotted with yellow at most 
at the sides, the middle coat of bristly hairs black, the long hairs pale 
foxy-reddish. 
Carapace as long as the metatarsus, or as the metatarsus and 1 of 
the tarsus of fourth leg, and equal to the tibia oe with 4-2 of 
the metatarus of first leg. 
Tibia of first leg 44-43 times as long as high in the middle, its 
length equal to or slightly less than that of the metatarsus and 
slightly exceeding or slightly less than the distance from the centre 
of the fovea to the anterior margin of the carapace. Metatarsus 
strongly curved in the middle, its length slightly exceeding the 
distance from the fovea to the anterior margin of the carapace. 
Bulb of pedipalp with the process rather long and slender, becoming 
eradually thinner from the base to slightly beyond the middle, the 
distal 2 being filiform, very fine and slender, terete, with slight or no 
sigmoid flexure at the apex. 
Apical segment of posterior spimners subfusiform (when not grooved 
below), about 14-13 times as long as the penultimate segment and 
11-14 times as long as the ocular tubercle.
