somewhat nearer to it than to the posterior end. The eyes, 

 though not very numerous, are arranged, as usual in Geoplmia. 



In the characteristic shape o£ the body this species closely 

 resembles the Australian G. Jletcheri, some of the varieties of 

 which are also strongly speckled on the dorsal surface. It differs 

 from G. fletclieri in the speckling of the ventral surface, the 

 absence of continuous dark stripes, and the more anterior position 

 of the apertures. 



I have much pleasure in dedicating the species to Mr. 

 Alexander Morton, of the Hobart Museum, from whom I first 

 received it.

In February, 1893, Professor Spencer collected a large number 

 of this common Australian species at Parattah, thus extending 

 its known range to Tasmania for the first time. The specimens, 

 which he kindly handed to me in spirit, agree exactly with those 

 commonly met with in Victoria.

The following description is taken from a coloured sketcli of 

 the living animal (with measurements) drawn by Professor 

 Spencer, and from three spirit specimens collected by him at the 

 south end of Lake St. Clair, in January, 1893 : — Body (when 

 crawling) tapering gradually in front and behind ; length 69 mm., 

 greatest breadth 3 mm. The dorsal surface has a ground colour 

 of purplish-grey, darkening in the middle line and at the margins, 

 so as to form a narrow median, and a pair of much broader
