Elizabeth), collected by the Rev. J. A. O’Neil. The hairs on the 
carapace and on the femora of the legs sometimes golden-yellow in 
the g ; the radiating stripes on the carapace sometimes very faint. 
The carapace in the g as long as the metatarsus and 1—2 of the 
tarsus of fourth leg, and equal to the tibia and 4 the metatarsus of 
first leg. In the @ the carapace is a little shorter or longer than the 
metatarsus and tarsus of fourth leg, and equal to the tibia, metatarsus 
and 1-1 of the tarsus of first leg. The tibia of first leg longer than 
in the Port Elizabeth form, its length in the 3 being 44-5 times its 
height in the middle and equal to the length of the metatarsus 
together with from 4 to nearly 4 of the tarsus, and always (generally 
considerably) exceeding the distance from the centre of the fovea to 
the anterior margin of the carapace; the length of the metatarsus 
equal to the distance from the fovea to near the middle of the ocular 
tubercle. In the 9 the tibia of the first leg is 23-3 times as long 
as high, its length varying from .,° of to almost equal to the distance 
from the fovea to the hind margin of the ocular tubercle, and equal 
to the metatarsus together with 4-14 of the tarsus. The apical 
segment of the spinners shaped as in the specimens from Port 
Elizabeth and equal to or more generally (especially in the 3) a 
little longer than the penultimate segment, sometimes quite + longer 
in the 3, but always shorter than the ocular tubercle. The lower 
series of notes on the chelicerze often composed of a more or less 
regularly uniseriate series, and generally slightly but distinctly 
separated from the inferior fringe, the distance between the posterior- 
most notes and the adjacent inferior setae being as usual many 
times less than the distance between the upper and lower group of 
notes. Total length § 254-33, largest 9 42; length of carapace

Most of these specimens are remarkable for their large size and 
darker colouration, the carapace and lmbs being often blackish 
brown. The stripes on the carapace and the shorter hairs on the 
femora and patelle of the legs are golden-yellow in the 3. In the g 
the tibia of the first leg is 42 to 4% times as long as high, its length 
being equal to the distance from the fovea to the anterior margin of 
the ocular tubercle or even a little exceeding the distance from the 
fovea to the anterior margin of the carapace, and equal to the length 
of the metatarsus together with about 1 of the tarsus. The 
metatarsus is a little longer or shorter than the distance from the 
fovea to the posterior margin of the ocular tubercle. The carapace
