Through the zeal of Mr. H. Stuart Dove, of Launceston, 1 have 

 been supplied with numerous consignments of planarians collected 

 in the neighbourhood of that town, and also at Table Cape in 

 2vT.W. Tasmania. The specimens were sent to me by Mr. Dove 

 both alive and preserved, from time to time during the last few 

 years, and his kindness in this matter has enabled me to offer 

 this contribution to our knowledge of a somewhat neglected 

 branch of the Tasmanian fauna. 



All the species found so far can be included in the old genus 

 Geoplana, no example of a Rhynchodemus having } r et been met 

 with. There is nothing specially distinctive about the land 

 planarians endemic to Tasmania. The}' bear a general resem- 

 blance to the forms occurring in Australia. Considering the 

 relationship of Tasmania to the mainland, this is to be expected, 

 and, as a matter of fact, the species peculiar to Tasmania do not 

 differ in character from those common to Tasmania and Australia, 



* Signifies that I have not seen Tasmanian examples, and t that I have 

 not seen specimens from any locality.
