noget skjmvt opadrettet og mangier enhver Art af Bevajb- 
ning. 
0ieknuden (Fig. 1 c) har sin Plads betydelig foran 
Midten af Hovedsegmentets Bygside, ikke langt fra For- 
kanten. l)en er af noget uregelmsessig stump konisk Form 
og lmr de 4 Cornea beliggende mer Basis. Ted noiere 
Undersogelse viser disse sidste sig af noget ulige Sterrelse, 
idet de 2 forreste er kjendelig storre end de 2 bagerste. 
Snabelen udgaar (se Fig. 1 a) noget ventralt fra Ho- 
vedsegmentets Forende og er lidt skjaevt nedadrettet. Den 
er neppe halvt saa lang som det bvrigo Legette og at 
cylindrisk Form, med Enden stumpt afkuttet; ganske nser 
Spidsen har den en svag cirkulmr ludknibning (se Fig. 1 b). 
Mundaabningen er af den ssedvanlige triangukere Form. 
Saxlemmeme (Fig. 1 d) er forholdsvis kraftigt udvik- 
lede og betydelig kengere end Snabelen. De bestaar at et 
temmelig tykt, lige fortil rettet, cylindriskt eller noget 
kolleformigt, enleddet Skaft, og et med dette meget bevse- 
geligt forbundet terminalt Afsnit, Saxen. Denne sidste er 
af oval Form, kortere end Skaftet og ligesom dette ganske 
glat. Fingrene er smrdeleS kraftige og stserkt chitiniserede, 
omtrent af Palmens Lsengde og mod Enden meget stserkt 
hageformigt krummede, saa at der mellem dem altid er et 
meget stort aabent Bum. Den bevsegelige Finger, som lig- 
ger nederst, er noget kengere end den ubevsegelige, saa at 
den, naar Saxen lukkes, kegger sig med Spidsen udenom 
den ubevsegelige, uden at krvdse samme (se Fig. I e). 
Af Folere er der, ligesaalidt som hos de i det tore- 
gaaende beskrevue Former, det mindste Spor at opdage. 
De falske Fodder (Fig. 1 f), som lam er tilstede lios 
Hannerne, er indleddede paa hver Side til et Inlet knude- 
formigt Fromspring, der ligger noget ventralt umiddelbart 
foran lnsertionen af de forreste Sidefortsatser (se Fig. 1 a, 
1 b). De er forholdsvis kraftigt udviklede og, lige udstrakte, 
mesten af Kroppens Lamgde, naar Snabelen fraregnes. 
Ialmindelighed viser de imidlertid en meget staerk S-formig 
Boining og er slaaede ind under Dyrets Bugside. Do be 
staar kun af 5 tydeligt begnendsede Led, og naar kreyer 
har beskrevet disse Lenuner som 7-leddede, da komrner 
dette aabenbart deraf, at han har regnet det knudeformige 
Fremspring, hvortil de er fsestede, som et sserskilt Led og 
desuden l'eilagtigt har taget en svag ludknibning i Midten 
af sidste Led som en virkelig Artikulation. Af Leddene 
er det Iste kortest men temmelig tykt, det 3die kengst og 
2 det og 4de omtrent af ens Storrelse. Sidste Led er lidt 
kortere end disse, dog forholdsvis bredere, safnmentrykt og 
stserkt krummet. uden Klo, men bevmbnet i Inderkanten 
nser Basis med 3 tot sammentramgte hageformige Tomer 
og desforuden til hver Side med en Bad af hgnende skjondt 
noget svagere Torner. Fowfvrigt er disse Lemmer kun 
meget sparsomt besatte med meget smaa, simple tornformige 
Borster. 
oval form, and not distinctly marked off from the last seg- 
ment of the trunk; it is always directed somewhat obliquely 
upward, and does not exhibit any kind of armature whatevii. 
The oculiferous tubercle (fig. 1 c) has its place con- 
siderably anterior to the middle of the dorsal surface of 
the cephalic segment, not far from the anterior margin. 
It exhibits a somewhat irregular obtusely-conic form, and 
has the 4 cornese placed near the base. On closer exam- 
ination these are found to differ somewhat in size, the 2 
foremost being appreciably larger than the 2 hindmost. 
The proboscis issues (see fig. 1 a) a little ventrally 
from the anterior extremity of the cephalic segment, and 
points somewhat obliquely downward. It is hardly half 
as long as the rest of the body and of cylindric form, with 
the extremity obtusely truncate; in close proximity to the 
point it has a faint circular constriction (sec fig. 1 b). The 
buccal orifice is of the usual triangular form. 
The chelitori (fig. 1 d) are of comparatively powerful 
development and considerably longer than the proboscis. 
They consist of a rather thick, anteriorly directed, cylin- 
dric or somewhat claviform, one-jointed scape and. con- 
nected very movably with it, a terminal section, the chela. 
The latter is oval in form, shorter than the scape, and, 
like that part, quite smooth. The fingers are exceedingly 
powerful and highly chitinized, about as long as the palm, 
and towards the extremity very strongly hooked, so as always 
to admit of a large open space between them. The mov- 
able finger being the lower of the two, is a trifle longer 
than the immovable, and hence, on the chela being shut, 
it will lie with the point beyond the immovable one, without 
crossing it (see fig. 1 o). 
Of palpi, as in the forms previously described, not . 
the slightest trace can be found. 
The false legs (fig. 1 f), present in the males only, 
are jointed on either side to a small tuberculiform pro- 
jection, lying in a somewhat ventral position immediately 
anterior to the origin of the foremost lateral processes (see 
i a< [ b). They are comparatively of powerful devel- 
opment. and, when fully extended, well-nigh equal in length 
to the body, excluding the proboscis. Generally, however, 
they assume a very decided sigmoid curve, and are folded 
in under the ventral surface of the animal. They consist 
of 5 distinctly defined joints, and if K rover has described 
these limbs as seven-jointed, this must obviously arise from 
his having counted the tuberculiform projection to which 
they are affixed as a distinct joint, and moreover errone- 
ously having mistaken a faint constriction in the middle 
of the last joint for a true articulation. Of the joints, 
the 1st is shortest, but rather thick, the 3rd longest and 
the 2nd and 4th about equal in size. The terminal joint is 
a little shorter than the two last, but relatively broader, 
compressed, and strongly curved, without any claw, though 
armed along the inner margin with 3 closely set, ungui- 
form spines, and having besides on either side a row of 
similar but somewhat feebler spines. For the rest, these 
limbs are very sparingly beset with exceedingly small, 
simple spiniform bristles.
