628 TASMANIAN LAND PLANARIANS, 



however, gives excellent figures of specimens sent to him by 

 Dendy, and from these identification can be readily made. 



I have received from Mr. Dove a small series of examples from 

 Trevallyn Hills and Table Cape, in which are included individuals 

 having the range of markings illustrated by Graff. 



Graff's figures 20 and 21 {op. cit.) have reference to specimens 

 of the typical form from Mount Wellington, while 22-24 represent 

 examples of Dendy's "slight variety" found by Professor Spencer 

 at Parattah. I have not seen specimens of the "slight variety," 

 but all my examples with markings corresponding to Graff's 

 figures thereof correspond in size and stoutness with the typical 

 form (PI. xli., fig. 8). I have some doubt if more than one species 

 is not here involved, but Dendy and Graff appear to be satisfied 

 on the point. 



Geoplana Mortom, Dendy.

Geoplana Mortoni, Dendy, (6, p. 181; 8, p. 421), Graff (io, p. 349). 



Mr. Dove has sent me specimens of this tine species from Tre- 

 vallyn Hills near Launceston, and Table Cape. Those from the 

 former locality are all of the finely speckled forms (PI. xli., fig. 6), 

 and in the specimens from the latter place the markings are 

 coarser. Some of the Table Cape specimens, in addition to the 

 characteristic brown specks, have an aggregation of mot t lings of 

 a darker shade of brown, forming very straggling lateral bands, 

 one on either side of a dorso-median space (PI. xli., fig. 7). These 

 supplementary bands range in different specimens from the barest 

 indication to the very distinctly banded form illustrated. They 

 bear a close analogy to the markings on the series of specimens of 

 G. Fletcheri, Dendy, from Mount Lofty, South Australia, described 

 by Dendy, (6, p. 185) to which he gave the varietal name 

 Adelaidensis . 



Ventral surface exactly as in Dendy's description. A specimen 

 with strongly marked bands is in spirit 42 mm. in length with 

 the peripharyngeal opening 22 mm. and the genital aperture 

 30 mm. from anterior tip.
