somewhat interrupted line of the same width and tint as the 

 median stripe; beyond which again is a narrowband of ground 

 colour of a paler shade sometimes bordered extei-nally by an inter- 

 rupted line like that previously mentioned, extending outwards to 

 the lateral margin of the body ; the sides of the body a paler shade 

 of ground-colour marked with darker dots. Except that of the 

 iindersurface, the colours are fairly well retained in spirit speci- 

 mens. 



A living specimen alive and extended 5-5 cm. long, 3 mm. 

 broad.

10. Geoplana virgata, n. sp. 



Iindersurface pale brownish yellow. A narrow median longi- 

 tudinal stripe of umber ; on each side of which lies a band of a lighter 

 tint, and of about twice or thrice the width, marked with narrow 

 broken longitudinal lines, and bounded externally by a darker 

 broken line ; outside the latter on either side a narrow band of 

 pale brown free from longitudinal markings, and bounded ex- 

 ternally by another darker broken line, outside which again is a 

 band marked with short fine longitudinal markings. 



Crawling and extended about 2'5 cm. long, 3 mm. wide.

11. Geoplana munda, n. sp. 

 (Plate V. fig. 8). 



Iindersurface greyish in centre, yellowish towards the margins. 

 Above there is a narrow median dorsal line of pale olive-brown, 

 bounded on either side by a very fine dark line, external to which 

 is a broader band of a slightly darker brown, and this is bor-dered 

 externally by a very dai-k brown line which gradually merges into 

 a rather broad baud of very dark brown which fades gradually 

 towards it outer margin. 



This pretty little planarian retains its colours in spirit very well 



but the undersurface becomes quite white. The single specimen
