p. virgatus. 
Cockerell (1905, loc. cit.) gives some measurements of the anterior leg 
of his variety, but, unfortunately, the mesothoracic and metathoracic 
legs are not dealt with. 
Tinsley (Loc. cit.) merely mentions that the " legs agree perfectly with 
the pubhshed description." The measurements mentioned above, given 
by Prof. Cockerell, are as follows : — " Anterior leg with femur and tro- 
chanter 292 /X long, tibia 212, tarsus 89 ; claw rather long, simple." 
The South African material is approximately : — 
I. 115 136 350 85 245 43 136 
II. 118 150 380 88 275 34 136 
III. 150 158 440 80 340 34 136 
The setae of the anal lobes average 270 fx long ; those of the anal ring 
are about 170 fi in length (S.A. material). 
I should mention that the spinnerets and their "tubes" in this 
material agree with the description given by Prof. Newstead in his var. 
madagascariensis. The tubes are visible only in stained preparations.
