358 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vox,. X, 



A female pore appeared to be present on the left side, in front 

 of seta a of segment xiv. 



The spermathecal apertures are small, with tumid lips, in 

 furrow I- in the lines of setae c. 



There were no other genital markings. 



The first septum is f, and the next f, both being strong; ^ is 

 absent, and f, , in and tt are thick and close together. 



The gizzard is of moderate size, cylindrical in shape, and 

 situated in the interval between septa y and r,. Calciferous glands 

 are represented bj^ a pair of ovoid swellings, not sharply set off 

 from the oesophageal wall, in segment xii ; on being cut into these 

 show a structure of transverse lamellae. The intestine begins in xv. 



The last heart is in xiii; the series is continued forwards to 

 segment vii. 



Testes were not identified. Funnels are present in xi, each 

 enclosed, to the best of my observation, in a separate sac. The 

 vesiculae seminales are a single pair, in the usual situation, 

 flattened against the alimentary canal on each side. The pros- 

 tates are tubular, of moderate size, but so softened and trans- 

 parent in this specimen that they were actually in some little 

 danger of being overlooked. 



The spermathecae are small ; the ampulla small and ovoid in 

 shape, the duct short, broad, about as long and nearly as broad 

 as the ampulla. The diverticula were, in the organ of one side, 

 two rounded knobs at the upper part of the duct rather towards 

 its posterior side; on the other side there were four, surrounding 

 the duct except on its anterior aspect. 



The penial setae (fig. 12) are approximately 2 mm. in length, 

 measured across the curve, — the whole seta being curved through 

 about a quarter of a circle. The breadth is rather variable, 

 maximum 20/'. The end is spoon-shaped, with a curved tip; 

 there is a slight constriction some little distance proximal to the 

 spoon. The ornamentation consists of very fine hairs, which 

 occur both distal and proximal to the slight constriction just 

 mentioned, though mainly on the proximal side. There is also 

 apparently a faint longitudinal grooving immediately distal to the 

 constriction. 



I am not thoroughh' satisfied of the value of the above 

 description, seeing that the specimen was in a bad condition of 

 preservation, and maj^ (on account of the absence of genital 

 markings and of a distinct clitellum) be thought to be immature. 

 Still well developed male organs were present, and penial setae 

 also ; and since these latter are of principal importance in the 

 discrimination of species in this genus I have decided to include 

 the present account, 



Subfam. TRIGASTRINAE.
