Annals of the Transvaal Museum. 
Carapace . — The spines on the posterior portion well developed. 
Distance between the anterior and posterior lateral eyes about equal to 
half the length of the latter. 
Posterior sternal sigilla about 2§-3 diameters apart and about J a 
diameter distant from the sternal margin. 
Measurements. — Total length 9 -5 mm., length of carapace 3 mm. 
Female. 
The type male is accompanied by a small female example, the more 
important characters of which are as follows : — 
Colour. — The abdomen superiorly is striped : anteriorly, the dark 
stripes tend to fuse, but in the posterior half three very distinct and rather 
broad stripes occur. Carapace and legs pale-brown. 
Legs. — Coxa III without a post-ventral tuft of stiff setae. Meta- 
tarsi I and II with 2 or 3 spines at the apex inferiorly and 2 along the 
lower surface, III with 7 or 8 spines on each side superiorly and 2 in the 
mid-dorsal region, IV with 2 spines superiorly on the posterior side and 
about 10 spines inferiorly, including those at the apex. 
Ocular area. — Posterior lateral eyes elongated, quite as long as the 
distance between anterior and posterior laterals. Posterior medians larger 
than the anterior medians and equidistant from anterior medians and 
posterior laterals. 
Posterior spinners. — Apical segment a trifle shorter than the middle 
segment. 
Chelicerae with 7 teeth on the fang groove. 
Maxilla without denticles at the anterobasal angle inferiorly. 
Posterior sternal sigilla large, pear-shaped, rather less than -J a diameter 
distant from the sternal margin and a trifle more than a diameter apart. 
Length of carapace 4 mm. 
Pelmatorycter bulcocki, sp. nov. (Plate XXVII, figs. 1 and 2, text fig. 6, 
No. 3.) 
Type. — A single adult male, collected for the Albany Museum, at 
Ngqeleni, Cape Province, by Mr. H. L. Bulcock, B.A., during April, 1915. 
Colour . — Carapace and upper portion of chelicerae bright red : legs 
and abdomen blackish. 
Chelicerae with 8 teeth on the fang groove (on one side 9, including a 
very small denticle near the base of the row). 
Pedipalps. — Pressed forwards, the apex reaches a point about § of 
the distance along tibia I. Tibia not greatly elongated, the tip of the spine 
of the bulbal organ reaching backwards nearly half-way along the tibia. 
Maxillae without denticles. 
Legs. — The metatarsi are all densely scopulated distally below. 
Tarsus I without distinct spines or with a very weak one on the posterior 
surface inferiorly near the apex, II with 2 spines inferiorly on the outer 
side, III with 2 spines on the anterior surface superiorly and 1 or 2 on the 
posterior surface, also 4 or 5 on each side of the inferior surface, IV with 
a strip of spines on each side in its lower half. Metatarsus I with 3 spines 
at the apex inferiorly and 2 on the lower surface, II with 3 at the apex
