€30 TASMANIAN LAND PLANARIANS, 



From Table Cape Mr. Dove has sent me alive a number of 

 specimens in which the eyes are plainly visible, and which in the 

 -arrangement and size of these, and all external respects, are 

 identical with Australian examples of G. sanguined. From the 

 same place, and also from his garden at Launceston, he has for- 

 warded specimens which careful anatomical examination shows to 

 be devoid of eyes and which are otherwise externally indistin- 

 guishable from G sanguined, thus answering in all respects to 

 Dendy's description of G. typhi ops. 



The largest specimen of G. sanguined from Table Cape, after 

 preservation in spirit, is 103 mm. in length, and has the peri- 

 pharyngeal opening 63 mm., and the genital aperture 72 mm. 

 from anterior tip. Of the specimens of G. tyfjhlops from same 

 locality the three largest specimens, in spirit, have the following 

 dimensions stated as above, the first of these was 115 mm. in 

 length when crawling : — 



Total Peripharyngeal Genital 



length. aperture. opening. 



90 64 76 mm. 



83 54 6Q mm. 



SO 54 67 mm. 



It is interesting to find these two forms thus associated with 



one another.

Of this common Victorian species I have received one specimen 

 from Table Cape, and Mr. Dove mentioned sending me several 

 others from the same place, which perished in transit. This is 

 the first record of the species from Tasmania.
