with setae a and 3, the third is between } and c, and the fourth in 
line with c. Each spermatheca is about large enough to fill out 
the longitudinal extent of a segment.

Fam. LUMBRICIDAE. 
Gen. Helodrilus. 
Helodrilus (Bimastus) parvus (Eisen). 
Edge of small stream, Barogh, Simla Hills, 5000 ft., 10-v-rg1o (N. 
Annandale). Two specimens 
Kasauli, Simla Hills, 6000 ft., Aug. and Sept., 1915 (Baint Prashad). 
Numerous specimens. 
Helodrilus (Bimastus) constrictus (Rosa). 
Darjiling, ca. 6000 ft., April 1914 (Carmichael collection). Three speci- 
mens, one immature. 
The clitellum begins on segment xxvi, but it extends behind 
so as to include xxxii,—the whole of it dorsally, and a half and 
two-thirds of it ventrally. 
Pigmentation is wanting; and there are no papillae in the re- 
gions of setae ab of xvi. 
The agreement is therefore not very close, but it hardly seems 
worth while making a new species or variety for these specimens. 
Helodrilus (Bimastus) eiseni (Levins.) 
Painsur, above Lohba, 8000 ft., 23-iv-1914 (Col. Tytler). A single speci- 
men, not fully mature. 
The identification is not absolutely certain; the species has 
been recorded from Kumaon district. 
Helodrilus(Eisenia) foetida (Sav.) 
Simla, W. Himalayas, 7000 ft., 9-v-1910 (N. Annandale). Four speci- 
mens. 
Same place and collector. 12—13-v-1913. A single specimen.
