each pit; each pit had puckered margins, and the pair were situated 

 in a whitish circular area, with sHghtly raised margin, which 

 extended from the setal zone of xvi to that of xviii. 



Twelve of the Saharanpur specimens examined for the 

 female apertures, gave the following result: the aperture of the 

 left side was present alone in 9, there was a large left aperture and 

 a very small right aperture in 2, and no female pore could be 

 distinguished in one (cf. Beddard, i). 



The penial setae vary from 2 to 3 mm. in length. The distal 

 portion may be bent on itself to form a loop. I saw no ornamen- 

 tation on the setae of the Saharanpur specimens; those of the 

 Lucknow specimens seemed all to be corroded. 



The septa agree exactly with what has been said concerning 

 E. waltoni. The dorsal vessel stops behind the gizzard, there 

 dividing to form the first pair of commissural vessels (those of 

 segment vii). 



Eutyphoeus bishambari, sp. nov. 



Pusa (Bengal); io-ix-1912 ; Bishambar Das. A single speci- 

 men. 



Length 180 mm. ; breadth maximum 5I mm. ; colour dark 

 brown dorsally, with a purplish strip in the middle line except 

 at anterior and posterior ends, pale grey ventrally. Segments 

 164. 



Prostomium a minute projection, within the mouth aperture ; 

 a pair of longitudinal grooves dorsally on the first segment, slightly 

 diverging as they approach furrow h. 



Secondary annulation in front of clitellum ; segment iii is 

 biannulate, but dorsally only ; segment iv biannulate all round, 

 v-vi triannulate, vii indistinctly 5-annulate, viii-ix have six annuh 

 or even more ; xii and xiii are smooth, and behind the clitellum 

 also the segments are not divided. 



The first dorsal pore is in furrow H ; none are visible on the 

 clitellum. 



Setae are present on the clitellum ; behind the clitellum their 

 position may be expressed as ah = iaa = ^bc, while be = cd and 

 dd=-l circumference; in front of the clitellum ab-=Ua, and is 

 somewhat less than cd. 



The chtellum extends from fxiii to fxvii = 4 dorsally ; 

 ventrally the anterior border is at the level of the setae of xiii 

 (|xiii). 



The male apertures (fig. 10) are conspicuous, somewhat tri- 

 angular in shape, with base anterior and narrowest angle internal ; 

 their margins are puckered. Each extends between and rather 

 beyond the lines of setae a and b, and the centre of the pore is thus 

 between the two Hnes. The penial setae project close to the outer 

 margin of the aperture. 



The female apertures were not recognized. 



The spermathecal apertures are slit-like, in furrow | ; the 

 whole slit takes up the space between the lines of setae b and c
