The Cephalon is elongated, but not mucli enlarged in diameter, with a very 

 slightly constricted neck between the first pair of lateral processes and the small 

 body-processes from which the ovigers arise, and which are plainly visible dorsally. 

 The anterior margin of the cephalon is angular, and the Ocular tubercle arises at its 

 front. This is stout, directed very slightly forwards, and terminates in a point above 

 the four well- developed eyes ; the anterior pair are larger than the posterior. 



The Abdomen is long, not articulated to the trunk, and slightly enlarged before 

 it terminates in a blunt point ; it is directed upwards to a moderate extent. The 

 length of the body is 11mm., its width 475mm., and the length of the abdomen is 

 3 '7 5mm. A few small, stiff setae occur dorsally at the posterior margin of the segments 

 and at the extremity of the lateral processes. 



The Proboscis is stout, cylindrical, rounded at the extremity ; the mouth is 

 small. Ventrally it measures 4mm. in length and, except in the mid-ventral line, it is 

 closely covered with small, stiff setae. It is ventral in position, directed obliquely 

 downwards, and articulated to the trunk. 



The Chelifori are well developed, and arise close together above and in front of the 

 proboscis. The scape is long and stout, projecting beyond the extremity of the proboscis, 

 though only 4mm. long. It is di^dded by a distinct joint into two sub-equal portions 

 and covered completely with short, stiff setae ; the second joint is expanded distally 

 and has an oblique termination. The chela is well developed, the palm being rather 

 shorter than the joints of the scape, but like them densely setose. The dactyli are 

 set on its inner 'extremity and lie transversely. They are short and stout, smooth 

 without teeth ; the movable one is the larger, and has a setose pad at the base. 



The Palps are stout, single- join ted, rather long stumps ; they arise from the sides 

 of the cephalon about the middle of its length. 



The Ovigers are ten-jointed, without terminal claw or denticulate spines (fig. 4a). 

 The appendage arises on a small process of the body in front of the first lateral 

 process. The first joint is short and very stout ; the second is at least twice as long, 

 slender proximally, much dilated distally ; the third is shorter, and the oblique 

 articulation of this joint with the next renders the fourth to all intents and purposes 

 lateral ; the fourth is the longest of the appendage and stout ; the fifth shorter, 

 and the sixth shorter still. The limb is curved in the form of an S, the first three 

 joints forming the curve in one direction, the three following curve in another. 

 Of the four terminal joints the seventh is short, the eighth is longer, the ninth and 

 tenth progressively shorten. The entire appendage is setose, the setae are small 

 and rather sparse proximally, becoming more numerous to the fifth joint ; from that 

 joint onward they are longer, but quite simple, and more completely clothe the joints. 



The Legs extend to about 38mm. Of the three coxae the second is fully twice as 

 long as the other two together, and bears a low rounded tubercle dorsally, just beyond 

 the middle of its length. The first coxa carries dorsally a stout but short tubercular 

 process, similar to, but smaller than, that of the lateral process. The proportions of
