410 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vol. XIII, 



The gizzard is large, firm, and subspherical, in the posterior 

 part of the very considerable free space between septa 5/6 and 8/9. 

 Calcareous glands are present in segment xii ; they are only visible 

 on opening the gut, when the condition is seen to be that which 

 I have described for E. bishambari (18); externally they are indi- 

 cated only by the oesophagus being swollen, and rather dark in 

 colour and hard. The intestine begins in segment xv ; in xxviii 

 are a pair of caeca, of an elongated conical form resembling those 

 of Pheretima ; they lie wholly in xxviii, that of the right side being 

 directed transversely towards the middle line above the intestine, 

 that of the left being doubled underneath the intestine. 



The last heart is in segment xiii. The dorsal vessel ends 

 anteriorly in front of septum 8/9, at the hinder end of the large 

 free space, by giving origin to two transverse commissures on 

 each side ; these lie close together behind the gizzard ; and since 

 they belong to segments viii and vii the gizzard is morphologically 

 in segment vii. 



The micronephridia are arranged behind the clitellum in per- 

 fectly regular transverse rows, one row in each segment, and about 

 a dozen nephridia on each side ; they are irregular in the clitellar 

 region and for some distance in front of it, absent in the ' ' free space ' ' 

 between septa 5/6 and 8/9, and irregular again in front ; there are 

 the usual tufts on each side of the pharynx, and thick clusters 

 round the base of the spermathecae. 



Testis-sacs are present in segment xi, opaque white in colour, 

 and communicating with the seminal vesicles in xii ; the heart of 

 segment xi, covered by a connective tissue membrane representing 

 septum 11/ 12, passes down internal to the sac. As the specimen 

 was single I did not carry out the dissection which would have been 

 necessary to ascertain whether the sacs communicate with each 

 other beneath the alimentary tube. The seminal vesicles, one pair, 

 extend forwards as far as septum lo/ii, and push septum 12/13 

 back to the level of 13/14 ; they are large and appear wrapped 

 round the alimentary tube ; their margins are somewhat 

 lobate. 



The prostates extend through segments xvii to xx, and con- 

 sist of a number of closely applied coils; each narrows at its ante- 

 rior end to form a firm, shining and muscular duct, one-third of 

 the diameter of the glandular portion ; maintaining the same 

 thickness it takes an inward direction, with many coils and loops, 

 to its ending. 



Ovaries and funnels not identified. 



There is one pair of spermathecae (fig. 29) ; each consists of an 

 antero-posteriorly elongated sac, irregular in shape, attached to 

 the parietes by a broad base, from which the sac projects both 

 forwards and especially backwards; the region on its under surface 

 where the sac is attached to the body-wall is the only thing that 

 can be described as a duct. There are two diverticula, one on each 

 side, opening at the base of the ampulla; each consists of a sac 

 and duct, the sac compound, showing a dozen to twenty chambers
