Excerpt from On the Phalanges of the United States of America All of the Arachnida have four pairs of feet, which in the Phalangidas are chiefly remarkable for their length, and the number of their tarsal joints. The coxae are large, conical, and converging towards the sternum. They are almost completely bid by the body Of the animal. The next article, the trochanter, forms with the coxa a sort of ginglymoid joint. The trochanters are small, but often afl'ord good specific characters. The femora are long and slender, and are distally connected with the shorter tibiae, which in turn give attachment to the numer ous series of short tarsal articles. In the Gonyleptidse, the last pair of feet are the longest. In the Phalangidas proper, the first and third pairs are about the same length and much shorter than the others the fourth pair is not quite so long as the second.
