(a) One 3 recently found by Mr. Harold A. Fry at Swellendam. 
g. Colowr.—Carapace and limbs almost black; the under coat of 
short hairs on the limbs and abdomen bright reddish orange, the long 
hairs on these parts whitish distally and only very faintly tinged with 
red; abdomen with distinct black markings above similar to those in 
tigrina, the bristles of the middle coat reddish orange, excepting 
in the black bands where they are black; the triangular cephalic 
portion of the carapace densely covered with brilliant orange-red 
hairs, dark hairs being absent, the thoracic portion also covered 
with similar hairs arranged in radiating, more densely hairy stripes 
alternating with less hairy interspaces, the latter almost entirely 
without dark hairs. Under surface of coxe and sternum brownish 
black, with brownish black hairs. 
Carapace as long as the metatarsus and } of the tarsus of fourth 
leg, and equal to the tibia together with nang 3 of the metatarsus 
of first leg. 
Tibia of first leg proportioned almost exactly as in the Port Eliza- 
beth g of tagrina; the tibia 4 times as long as high in the middle, 
its length equal to that of the metatarsus together with } of the 
tarsus, and just exceeding the distance from the centre of the fovea 
to the middle of the ocular tubercle. Metatarsus slightly curved, 
subequal in length to the distance from the fovea to the hind margin 
of the ocular tubercle. 
The arcuate process of the bulb of the pedipalp becoming gradually 
thinner to beyond the middle, the distal part very slender and fili- 
form, simply curved outwards at the apex, oma without distinct 
sigmoid flexure. 
Apical segment of posterior spinners about + longer than the 
penultimate segment, and equalling or even slightly exceeding the 
ocular tubercle in length. 
Lower serves of notes on the chelicerze composed of about 2-3 rows 
of spines and widely separated from the inferior fringe of set,” the 
distance between the latter and the posteriormost notes being quite 
1-1 of the distance between the upper and the lower group of notes. 
Measwrements.—Total length 30; length of carapace 124; length 
of tibia of first leg 7:8, of metatarsus 7; distance from fovea 
to anterior margin of carapace 84, to posterior margin of ocular 
tubercle 6°9. 
(b) One 2 (83mm. long and apparently almost mature) found on 
* Anteriorly the notes pass over insensibly into the sete of the fringe, as in the 
other species.
