Mygale stridulans, sp. n., J. Wood-Mason, Tr. E. Soc. 1877, pp. 281 & 
282, pi. vii., Assam. The power of this spider to produce sounds is stated 
to be due to a " comb ” composed of a number of highly elastic and 
indurated, club-shaped chitinous rods arranged together, comb-like, on 
the inner face of the basal joints of the palpi, and a “scraper” formed 
by an irregular row of sharp, erect spines, on the outer surface of the 
penultimate joints of the falces. These stridulating organs are equally 
developed in both sexes. \_Cf. Ann. N. H. (4) xix.]
