The present paper is a continuation of that previously pub- 

 lished by me on the same subject (Proc. Roy. Soc. Vic, vol. xxii., 

 pt. I., 1909), and has, like it, been undertaken in the Biological 

 Laboratory of the Melbourne University, under the direction 

 and advice of Professor Spencer. The bibliography is the 

 same as before, and I have continued to employ the generic 

 names given by Beddard in his " Monograph of the Order Oli- 

 gochaeta " (from which also all the references in the text are 

 taken) except in such cases as are indicated in which they have 

 been altered in harmony with Michaelsen's later work. 



The following is a list of the genera and species dealt with 

 in the preceding paper : ■ — 



Cryptodrilus hulmei. 

 Digaster excavata. 

 Diporochaeta bakeri. 

 ,. copelandi. 



„ davalliM. 



„ richardi. 



,, tanjilensis. 



,, yarraensis. 



Fietcherodrilus unicus. 

 Megascolex coxii. 



dorsalis. 

 ,, fielderi. 



„ goonmurk. 



,, tenax.i 



1 Michaelseii uses this genus instead of Megascolides, '' Die Fauna, Slid west 

 Australiens," 1907, Oligochaeta, p. 160.
