402 NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN EARTHWORMS. 



together on xiv, in front of the line of setse, Spermathecal pores 

 four pairs, intersegmental from segments v to ix, in line with or 

 slightly dorsad of the second row of setae on each side. 



Dorsal pores after segment iv. Nephridiopores not visible. 

 The accessory copulatory structures are slightly different in detail 

 in the two specimens ; they comprise swollen areas with pits or 

 pores on the ventral surface of x and xi (in one case circular and 

 extending outward from the first to the sixth seta on each side), 

 while the ventral surface of segments xvii to xx or xxii is much 

 thickened, flattened, and some of these shew a trailsverse shallow 

 depression, and a pair of indistinct pores. 



In one of the specimens dissected the gizzard was in v, calci- 

 ferous pouches in x-xiv, the large intestine commencing in xvi, 

 without caeca. Testes two pairs in ix and xii, ciliated rosettes in 

 X and XI, prostates two, in xvili and xix ; ovaries in xili, sperma- 

 thecae four pairs, in segments vi to ix, opening anteriorly, the 

 club-shaped cseca nearly as long as the main sacs. The posterior 

 pair of hearts is in xili.
