Drawida pellucida (Bourne). 



Upper Rotung, alt. ca. 2000 ft., found road-making; 5-1-1912. A single 

 specimen, not fully mature. 



I give below some anatomical details of the specimen I have 

 identified as above, since there may perhaps be some doubt as to 

 the actual specific identity. The point is of some interest in view 

 of the geographical distribution of the genus. 



Length 3 inches ; diameter 4 mm. ; colour pale, non-pigment- 

 ed. Segments 186. 



Prostomium invisible. Clitellum not distinguishable. 



Setae closely paired; aa = ^ab = be ab = cd, dd = •§- of 

 circumference ; setae a and b are very minute behind segment xv , 

 c and d are also small in the middle region of the body. 



The male apertures are slits, in groove rx, the margins of the 

 adjacent segments bordering the apertures as slightly swollen lips ; 

 the centre of the slit is placed between the lines of setae b and c, 

 rather nearer to b, and the inner end of the slit extends inwards 

 almost as far as the line b. 



The female apertures were not visible.
