and + of the metatarsus of first leg. Tibia of first leg a little more 
than 4 times as long as high, its length slightly exceeding that of 
the metatarsus and nearly equal to the distance from the fovea to 
the middle of the chelicere; the length of the metatarsus much 
exceeding the distance from the fovea to the anterior margin of the 
carapace Process of pedipalpal bulb apparently with the tip broken 
off. Apical segment of spinners about } longer than the penultimate 
segment. Total length 17; length of metatarsus of first leg 5}; 
distance from fovea to anterior margin of carapace 43. 
(c) The Museum also possesses an apparently nearly mature 9 
(measuring 3803 mm. in length) from Olyvenbosch Kraal, near the 
Bergvlei River in Clanwilliam Div., just north of the Piquetberg 
Range, and 4 smaller examples from Onder Bergvlei near the 
above locality, all from Mr. C. L. Leipoldt; also, an immature 
specimen from Boschkloof Waterfall in the Cedarbergen, collected 
by Mr. R. Pattison. From the length of the posterior legs these 
specimens would appear to belong to this species. The colour is 
pale ochraceous to brownish yellow, the abdomen being spotted 
above as in treleavent. 
In the largest example the carapace is about equal to the meta- 
tarsus and 4 the tarsus of the fourth leg, and to the tibia and meta- 
tarsus of the first leg. The tibia of first and second legs with a 
basal spine below and another on the inner (anterior) surface, that 
of third and especially of fourth leg with several spines below and on 
the sides, in addition to the ordinary spines at the apex. The first 
leg is shorter than the fourth by the length of the tarsus of the latter. 
In the smaller examples the legs are relatively shorter, and the 
spines on the tibia are mostly absent, excepting those at the apex. 
The apical segment of the posterior spinners is equal to or slightly 
exceeds the penultimate segment, and is subequal to the ocular 
tubercle in length.
