Further Descriptions of Australian Earthivorms. 41 



Setae regularly arranged ; the ventral interval equal to that 

 between the two setae of the lower pair ; that betvveen the two 

 upper setae equal to the distance between the lower of these two 

 and the upper of the ventral pair. 



Male pores on strongly marked papillae on segment 18. 



Oviduct pores on segment 14. 



Spermathecal pores, three pairs at the level of the outer setae 

 of the ventral pair between segments 6 and 7, 7 and 8, 8 and 9. 



Dorsal pores present, the first between segments 6 and 7. 



Alimentary canal. Gizzard in segment 5. Calciferous glands 

 in segments 10-13. Lai'ge intestine commencing in segment 15. 



Circulatory system. Hearts in segments 7-13. A supra- 

 intestinal in addition to the dorsal vessel present in segments 

 9-13. 



Excretory system, meganephi'ic. A saccular structure present 

 attached to alternate septa possibly connected with the nephridia. 



Reproductive system. Testes in segments 10 and 11 into 

 which the rosettes open. 



Spermiducal glands flattened, mammilated, bilobate, each lobe 

 with its duct and the two uniting to form a common duct. 



Sperm sacs, racemose, attached to the posterior wall of 

 segment 9 and the anterior of segment 1 2. 



Ovaries in segment 13, into which the oviducts open. 



Spermathecae. Three pairs, each consisting of a spherical sac 

 with a long duct into the base of which open a short tubular 

 diverticulum with a slightly swollen end. In segments 7, 8, and 

 9. 



Habitat. Horsham, Victoria. (Collected by Mr. J, Shephard). 



(2). Cryptodpilus queenslandica, sp. n. (Figs. 31, 32, 33). 

 Spirit specimens 18 inches long, ^ inch broad. 



Prostomium not at all dovetailed into the peristomium, back 

 as far as the clitellum there are four annuli to each segment, in 

 the clitellar and posterior region there are two to each segment. 



Clitellum well marked and dark purple in colour extending 

 over segments 1 3-20 but not including ventrally segments 1 7-20. 



Setae, two pairs on each side, those of each pair close together 

 and both pairs placed low down on the segment. Difficult to see
