the legs, with the exception of those of the first pair (not merely on the last 

 pair as in the specimens of Mr. Sedgwick and Mr. Dendy), and a similar 

 state of things was found to obtain in five other males from other localities. 

 On the papillae open the ducts of the crural glands, as shown by sections ; 

 even when papillae are not visible the apertures of the ducts in well-pre- 

 served specimens are generally noticeable. Attention is also called to the 

 presence of a pair of pores on the ventral surface between the genital aper- 

 ture and the anus, but nearer to the latter, which may possibly be the open- 

 ings of the ducts of accessory glands. The majority of the specimens (35) 

 were obtained at Mt. Kosciusko by Mr. R. Helms, on behalf of the Aus- 

 tralian Museum. — 6) Arabian Nematodes. By N. A. Cobb. In the winter 

 of 1888/89 the author collected, among other things, on the coast of Arabia, 

 about two hundred marine Nematodes, an examination of which discovers 

 seven specific forms. The marine Nematodes hitherto studied, those of Carter 

 excepted, have been taken from European branches of the Atlantic Ocean, 

 — the Baltic, North, and Mediterranean Seas. It is therefore of interest to 

 find that .all the species in the Arabian collection can be referred to known 

 genera inhabiting Atlantic waters. Some of these forms were afterwards 

 found living on coasts of the Southern and of the Pacific Oceans, as well as 

 on other coasts of the Indian Ocean. The geographical range is therefore 

 roughly indicated. Various structural facts are also recorded which will be 

 found of interest to those familiar with Nematode anatomy.
