Preliminary Notes on Tasutanian Earthiuorjns. 37 



Oviduct pores on segment 14. 



Spermathecal pores, five in number at the intervals between 

 segments 5 and 6, 6 and 7, 7 and 8, 8 and 9, 9 and 10. Indi- 

 cated by white glandular spots just dorsal to the level of the 

 innermost setaj. 



Accessory copulatory structures. An elliptical tumid patch 

 in the median ventral space between segments 17 and 18; other 

 patches at the level of the second setae of each side on segment 

 17 and between segments 18 and 19 and 19 and 20 at the level 

 of the first setfe. The two latter extend inwards near to the 

 mid- ventral line. 



Dorsal pores present, the first between segments 4 and 5. 



Nephridiopores at the level of the third seta on each side. 



Alimentary canal. Gizzard in segment 5. True calciferous 

 glands present in segments 13-16. Large intestine commencing 

 in segment 18. 



Excretory system. Meganephric. 



Reproductive system. Testes in segments 10 and 11. Ciliated 



rosettes in segments 10 and 11. 



Sperm sacs, racemose, attached to the anterior wall of segment 

 12. 



Ovary in segment 13. Oviducts opening into the same 

 .segment. 



Spermathecae, 5 pairs, one each in segments 5-9, with a small 

 simple diverticulum less than one-lialf the length of the sac. 



Habitat. Dee Bridge and Mount Wellington, Tasmania. 

 Under logs and stones. I have pleasure in associating with this 

 the name of Mr. A. Morton, Curator of the Hobart Museum, 

 and Secretary of the Royal Society of Tasmania, to whom I am 

 indebted for help in various ways.

 slightly more than \ inch broad. The dorsal surface is 

 purple, the ventral is flesh coloured, and the clitellum 

 lighter than the surrounding parts. The setfe are 

 distinct. There is a median dorsal dark line extending 

 on to the prostomium. 



Prostomium dovetailed about one half into the peristomium.
