Description of Victorian Earthworms. 139 



Sperm sacs small, and slightly racemose, in segment 12. 



Ovaries in segment 18, and oviducts opening into the 

 same segment. 



Spermatheca?, four paii's in segments G-9, each one markedlj^ 

 large in comparison to the size of the hody and consisting 

 of a distinct stalk, with swollen sac, and at the base of the 

 stalk, a small diverticulum. 



Habitat. Mt. Macedon, Victoria. Collected by ]\Ir. H. 

 R. Hogg and myself 



(7) C. victories, sp. n. (Figs. 19, 20, 21, G9). Spirit specimen 

 4 inches long, three-eighths inch broad. 



The prostomium completely dovetailed into the peris- 

 tomium. There is a very distinct median, dorsal and ventral 

 groove running the whole length of the bod}' (in spirit 

 specimen). 



Clitellum fciirly distinct and complete, occupying segments 

 14-16. 



Setse prominent, and in four couples i-egularly arranged, 

 except at the posterior end of the body, where the last few 

 segments are distinct from and smaller than the others. 

 Male pores on papilla? on segment 18, each slightly dorsal 

 to the level of the innermost setpe. 



Oviduct pores on segment 14, slightly anterior to, and 

 ventral of, the position of the innermost setR3. 



Spermathecal pores, live in number ; intersegmental ; the 

 first between segments 4 and 5. 



Accessory copulatory structures feebly developed. A 

 median, ventral, glandular patcli on the anterior halves of 

 segments 9 and 10, together with faintly marked interseg- 

 mental patches immediately in fi-ont of and behind the male 

 openings. 



Dorsal pores present, the first jirobably between segmei.ts 

 2 and 3, one certainly present between segments 3 and 4. 



Nephridiopoi-es at the level of the third set?e, commencing 

 at the second segment. 



Alimentary canal. Gizzard in segment o. No true 

 calciferous glands, but vascular swellings present in 

 segments 9-15. Large intestine commencing in segment 17. 



Circulatory system. Single dorsal vessel with the last 

 pair of hearts in segment 12. 



Excretory .system. Meganephric, with a coiled tube in 

 each segment ventralW, from which a long duct leads uj) to 

 the level of the third seta3.
