The gizzard occupies segments vili—ix. The intestine begins 
in xv. There are a pair of intestinal diverticula in xxvi; these are 
elongated, conical, without secondary projections; they extend 
forwards through segments xxv—xxiil. 
The last heart is in segment xiii. 
The seminal funnels are in x and xi, enclosed in small testi- 
cular sacs ; the sacs of each pair are separate, not conjoined across 
the middle line. The seminal vesicles are paired, of moderate size, 
in segments xi and xii. 
The prostates are of moderate size, and flattened against the 
body-wall; each consists of two principal lobes, one anterior, the 
other posterior to the origin of the duct; both lobes are divided 
up into numerous lobules. 
The spermathece possess an irregularly shaped, roughly ovoid 
ampulla, with a broad short duct. The diverticulum arises from 
near the distal end of the duct; it is variable, often coiled, thin 
and narrow for the most part, and dilated at its internal end; 
when uncoiled it is about equal in length to the ampulla or some- 
what shorter. 
PHERETIMA DIVERGENS (Mchlsn.) var. YUNNANENSIS Vat. nov. 
A single specimen, in a tube along with P. hawayana. 
Tengyueh, Yunnan. 
EXTERNAL CHARACTERS.—Length 3? inches; breadth 3 mm., 
segments 108, colour yellowish brown. 
Prostomium epilobous !/,. 
No dorsal pores visible in front of clitellum. 
Clitellum includes segment xiv—xvi=3; there are a few sete 
ventrally on xvi, otherwise the clitellum is without sete. 
Male apertures on segment xvili, at an interval of nearly one- 
third of the circumference, in the line of the ring of seta. About 
12 sete intervene between the apertures; there are however no setz 
immediately to the inner side of these latter. 
Female aperture a minute pore, mid-ventrally on xiv. 
Spermathecal apertures small, in intersegmental furrows °/,, °/,, 
7/;, °/, (on right side only those in */, and °/, visible). The interval 
between the apertures of opposite sides is equal to about II or 12 
sete. 
Gemtal papille are present on segments vii, vili and ix, in 
pairs, on the anterior part of the segment between the setal ring 
and the anterior boundary of the segment; the interval between 
the papille of each pair is equal to 7 or 8 sete. 
Midventrally, in the line of the setal rings of vi—ix and xi— 
xiii, there are appearances which might possibly represent faintly 
marked copulatory areas, but more probably are due to _ post- 
mortem changes, or to the specimen having been rubbed. 
The sete form closed rings. ‘Those on the anterior segments 
as far back as vii or viii are enlarged somewhat, but not markedly. 
The intervals between the sete are approximately the same all
