?. Colowr much the same as in g, the limbs and carapace a rich 
dark brown, the coat of short hairs on the limbs and trunk a more 
greyish olivaceous, the abdomen thickly speckled all over with grey 
spots and with a few obliquely transverse dark lines on the back, the 
fringe at the margins of the carapace pale foxy-reddish. 
Carapace somewhat shorter than the metatarsus and tarsus of 
fourth leg and slightly or considerably longer than the tibia and 
metatarsus of first leg. 
Tibia of first leg 3 times as long as high in the middle, its length a 
little exceeding that of the metatarsus, and from ¢ of to slightly less 
than the distance from the fovea to the hind margin of the ocular 
tubercle. 
Apical segment of posterior spinners shorter than in the g and 
(when not grooved below) slightly conical in form, about 4-4 longer 
than the penultimate segmént and only a little longer than the ocular 
tubercle. 
Measurements.—Total length in § 33-41, in @ 49; length of cara- 
pace in § 14-16, in 9 18; length of tibia of first leg in largest g 10, 
2 Y, of metatarsus g 10, ? 8; distance from centre of fovea to 
anterior margin of carapace in g 10, to posterior margin of ocular 
tubercle in ? 9:2. 
Lower cluster of stridulating notes on the cheliceree composed of 
8-20 spines, irregularly arranged 2-3 deep or more or less regularly 
biseriate, sometimes situated in the margin of the inferior fringe of 
sete but more often slightly separated from, although very close to, 
the latter. 
(6) One g from Elizabethfontein, Clanwilliam Div. (1,000 feet 
elevation, Miss M. Bergh). A very small specimen, measuring 
only about 24 mm. in length, with the carapace 104 mm. long; the 
tibia of first leg only 4 times as long as high; the carapace slightly 
shorter than the metatarsus of fourth leg. 
The conspicuous white bands of the legs contrasting with the rich 
dark brown and dark olive-green background give the males de- 
scribed above a very handsome appearance, not so noticeable in the 
more sombre but otherwise very similarly coloured 3 of atra. 
(c) One g, found on the mountain-side at the entrance to 
Kogmans Kloof near Ashton, Robertson Div., by my wife. This 
is a very small example, measuring only 20 mm. in length. Tibia 
of first leg 4 times as long as high, its length a little exceeding that 
of the metatarsus, and exceeding the distance from the fovea to the 
anterior margin of carapace ; metatarsus much less strongly curved 
than in the types; apical segment of spinners very long, more than 
twice as long as the penultimate segment; carapace and limbs
