fifteen examples some of which agree with Dr. Purcell’s variety gariepensis 
whilst others are intermediates between that form and nigrovesicalis , 
Pure. (Ann. S. Afr. Mus. II, p. 195). 
In one specimen (1004) there is a single short spine on the antero- 
inferior edge of the tarsus of the third leg. 
Opisthophthalmus carinatus , Ptrs. 
Dug up from sandy soil and from the river bed at Wasserfall, from 
Kraikluft at 5200 ft., and from Nakeis (Klein Karas) : 13 examples. 
Opisthophthalmus gigas , Pure. ? 
The two specimens are immature. The larger one, a $, is remarkable 
for the small size and narrowness of the hands : the colour is olive green 
except on the anterior part of the carapace, the legs, the vesicle, and the 
hinder half of the fifth caudal segment where it is yellow : 23 pectinal 
teeth. Taken amongst rocks at Kraikluft (5100 ft.), and in the rocky 
river bed at Narudas Slid. 
Opisthophthalmus schultzei , Kraep. 
(Denkschr. Med. -Nat. Jena XIII, p. 262 .) 
A single example from Aus at 1450 m. The distal portion of the 
chelicerae including the jaws is strongly infuscated. 
Opisthophthalmus opinatus , Sim. ? 
The identification is not absolutely certain as the two examples, both 
differ slightly from the typical form as described by Ivraepelin, after 
Simon, and may represent a distinct variety. The ceplialothorax is 
entirely granular, coarsely so in front, and in one specimen the granulation 
extends over the ocular tubercle. The terga of the abdomen are very 
finely granular throughout. The larger specimen has a total length of 
64 mm. 
Taken in sandy soil at Narudas Slid, and at Quibis (1374 m.). 
An immature example probably referable to this species was taken at 
Kraikluft (5000 ft.), 
Hadogenes , sp. 
The collection includes five immature examples which are probably 
referable to H. taeniurus, Thor. Taken in the crevices of rocks at 
Kraikluft, under bark of trees and in the rocky river bed at Narudas Siid, 
and amongst rocks at a place three miles below Narudas Slid.

Family MIGIDAE. 
Moggridgea pallida, sp. nov. 
Type in the Transvaal Museum : a single adult $ from Kraikluft at 
5200 feet (15/1/1913). Two half-grown specimens and a brood of young, 
the progeny of the type, were taken at the same time. 
Colour : carapace and proximal segments of appendages pale yellow, 
the ocular area and the posterior half of the cephalic groove on either side 
brown, tarsi and metatarsi of first three pairs of legs also brown : sternum 
and coxa of pedipalp pale brown. 
Carapace : longer than broad, its length exceeding that of the tibia 
metatarsus and tarsus of the first leg, but scarcely longer than the tibia
