230 DR. J. G. DE MAN ON THE PODOPHTHALMOUS 
with one another by a longer, piliferous, elevated line, which 
proceeds close to and parallel with the anterior margin. The 
under (external) margin of the outer surface is likewise hairy 
and armed with some small spinules, which gradually change into 
piliferous tubercles or elevated lines at the proximal end. The 
inner surface of the arm is quite flattened and smooth, and the 
somewhat convex under surface is somewhat granular, and covered 
with rather long hairs. 
The whole upper surface of the carpopodite is everywhere 
covered with piliferous acute tubercles, which gradually change 
into acute spinules towards the margins ; thus the internal margin 
is armed with two parallel rows of about 11-12 acute spinules, the 
foremost of which is a little larger than the others. The much 
smaller internal surface of the wrist, which is also covered with a 
few piliferous, smooth, and depressed tubercles, gradually passes 
into the still smaller concave and smooth under surface. 
The compressed hand is a little longer than high, the propor- 
tion of its length (the fingers included) to its height being 
about 12:9; the lower margin of the immobile finger is in a 
straight line with the lower margin of the palm. The whole, 
scarcely convex, outer surface of the palm is covered with small, 
more or less acute tubercles, which are all piliferous, like those of 
the preceding joints. These small tubercles gradually change 
into spinules towards the comparatively short upper margin, 
which therefore presents two parallel rows of small spinules, an 
external of eight, and an internal row of five spinules. The 
under margin of the palm is covered with acute tubercles 
similar to those of the outer surface. Towards the index these — 
tubercles are arranged biserially close to one another, and this 
double row proceeds upon the under margin of the immobile 
finger. The inner surface of the hand also presents some 
sparsely distributed, piliferous tubercles. The fingers are rather 
much compressed, and there is no gap between their inner 
margins. Their outer surfaces present some more or less acute 
piliferous granules, but their inner surfaces are nearly smooth, 
though somewhat hairy, especially the inner surface of the index. 
The upper margin of the mobile finger is armed with a row of about 
16-17 acute piliferous spinules, which gradually diminish in size 
towards the pointed, somewhat hooked tip ; at the inner side of 
this row, a second row of much smaller spinules is seen on the 
upper margin of the thumb. The inner margins of the fingers
