On the South African ‘ Theraphoside.”’ 327 
the mountain-side at the village of Caledon by Mr. Geo. French. 
Carapace and limbs brown; hairy covering on upper side of limbs 
and abdomen much the same as in the ¢ from Swellendam ; on the 
carapace, however, which is considerably rubbed, there are some 
olivaceous hairs between the reddish orange stripes and also behind 
the ocular tubercle, but not alongside of it. Carapace a little shorter 
than the tarsus and metatarsus of fourth leg, and equal to the tibia, 
metatarsus and } of the tarsus of first leg. Tibia of first leg 3 
times as long as high, its length equal to that of the metatarsus 
together with about } of the tarsus, and about 4%, of the distance from 
the fovea to the hind margin of the ocular tubercle. Apical segment 
of posterior spinners a little longer than the penultimate segment, and 
about equal to the ocular tubercle in length. The distance between 
the posteriormost notes of the lower group and the set of the 
inferior fringe about 4 the distance between the upper and lower 
group of notes. 
(c) One § and 2 immature specimens (the largest 25mm. long) 
collected by Mr. H. A. Fry in the Bredasdorp Div. The ¢ closely 
resembles the example from Swellendam, but is less red, the short 
hairs of the trunk and limbs being testaceous yellow, while there are 
a number of black-olivaceous hairs on the carapace in the darker 
spaces between the yellow stripes and also on a large, lozenge- 
shaped, median area behind, but not alongside of, the tubercle on 
the cephalic portion. The long hairs also more foxy-red. Apical 
segment of spinners nearly + longer than the ocular tubercle. Pro- 
cess of bulb very fine, not compressed distally. Carapace as long as 
the tibia and 3 of the metatarsus of first leg. Total length 29 mm. 
The Bredasdorp form may possibly be separable as a local colour 
variety. 
The immature specimens resemble the ¢, excepting that the hair 
covering is much less red, the short hairs being more yellow and the 
long hairs whitish. The proportions of the tibia of the first leg as in 
the ? from Caledon. The apical segment of the spinners about + 
longer than the penultimate segment, and decidedly longer than the 
ocular tubercle. 
The spines of the lower group of notes on the chelicerz in the $ 
are arranged irregularly and 3-4 deep. 
(d) A large immature specimen (28mm. in length) and 3 
smaller ones from Slanghoek, Worcester Div., collected by Mr. 
R. Francke and myself. In the larger example the short hairs 
are yellowish, the proportions of the tibia of the first leg are as 
in the @ from Caledon, and the apical segment of the spinners is 
considerably longer than the ocular tubercle.
