The vesiculae seminales are one pair, in appearance resem- 

 bling those of the other species of the genus described above. 

 They occupy segments xii and xiii, overlap the testis sacs ante- 

 riorly, and bulge back septum if posteriorly. They are attached 

 internally to the alimentary canal near their anterior ends; their 

 margin is slightly lobed. 



The prostates, occupying segments xvii-xx, are tubular and 

 much coiled; the prostatic tube becomes narrower and more 

 glistening towards its end. The vas deferens, passing to the outer 

 side of the termination of the prostate, curves inwards round it 

 and ends behind it in a sac-like widening. A long setal sac is 

 present between the prostate and the gut. 



The ovaries were not seen. The ovarian funnels are in xiii. 



The spermathecae are a pair of compact white masses, some- 

 what ovoid in general outline, with the long axis antero-posterior, 

 and margin slightly lobed. They are placed in front of the gizzard, 

 opposite the posterior portion of the conical septum fr. The duct 

 is very short and moderately stout, passing to the exterior from 

 the under surface of the ampulla. From the posterior side of the 

 junction of duct and ampulla arises the fan-shaped iridescent 

 diverticulum, consisting of jjeven or eight lobes arranged in two or 

 three groups: the groups are tolerably well separated from each 

 other. 



The genital setae were found to be numerous, but mostly 

 immature; one or two were fully formed and projecting. In 

 length these measured 3'3 mm,, in breadth 32 p. The shaft- has a 

 gentle S-shaped curvature, the distal end is bluntly pointed, and 

 flattened and slightly excavated on one face, so as to give a 

 spoon-shaped appearance (fig. 22a) ; in the bowl of the spoon were 

 seen small longitudinally directed ridges. The immature setae 

 differ considerably from this description (fig. 22b). 



Eutyphoeus magnus, sp. nov. 

 (PI. xxvii, figs. 23, 24.) 



Upper RotLing, alt. ca. 2000ft., found in earth when road-making; 4-i- 

 igi2. A single specimen. 



Length 11 inches; diameter 8 mm. Colour light slaty-grey 

 dorsally, rather darker in anterior third of body; pale ventrally; 

 clitellum a dark grey. Segments 263. 



Prostomium small, prolobous, under cover of segment i. The 

 first three segments consist of single annuli, segments iv-v of two, 

 vi of four, vii of five, viii-x of six, xi of five, and xii of three, 

 behind the clitellum the segments are triannulate. 



The first dorsal pore is in groove H. 



The setae are paired, the intervals being expressed by the 

 following ratios : — ah = \aa = i-^bc = led ; dd= ^ oi the circum- 

 ference. 



The clitellum extends over i xiii-| xvii = 4,>. The secondary 

 annulation is obliterated, but the intersegmental furrows are dis-
