aperture 16mm. and the peripharyngeal aperture 30 mm. 

 from the posterior extremity. The body is flat below, convex 

 above, with slightly crinkled margins, tapering very gradually 

 and evenly in front, not quite so gradually behind. Eyes in 

 single series anteriorly and antero-laterally, and extending far 

 back, perhaps nearly to the posterior end. My notes on the 

 living animal state that it resembled the Australian G. san- 

 guinea in colour and shape. In spirit it is almost colourless 

 (yellowish-grey) all over, with no stripes.

Geoplana flavimarginata, Dendy. 



I have now received larger specimens of this species than 

 previously recorded. One received by post (presumably from 

 Mr. Travers) measures, after preservation in spirit, about 

 87 mm. in length by 6 - 5mm. in greatest breadth, with the 

 genital aperture about 19 mm. and the peripharyngeal aper- 

 ture 31mm. from the posterior extremity. In life the dorsal 

 surface was rather bright Indian-red, with yellow margins. 

 The ventral surface was yellow. There were no spots. 



Geoplana graffii, Dendy. 



Whangamarino, Chatham Islands. — Five specimens. Janu- 

 ary, 1901. I have already recorded this species from the 

 Chatham Islands, where I have now found it myself at Wha- 

 ngamarino. The specimens agree very closely with the types 

 from Christchurch, except that they are considerably larger. 

 The living animal when at rest is flat and leaf-like and very 

 broad. Dorsal surface dark-brown, with much paler rather 

 narrow median and supramarginal bands of brown. Flecked 

 all over with small whitish or greenish-white specks. Mar- 

 gins of the median band sometimes paler than the middle, 

 owing to the presence of numerous small whitish specks. 

 The dark-brown ground-colour becomes intensified along the 

 margins of the pale bands. The ventral surface is finely 

 mottled in light and darker brown, with paler narrow e>ub-
