of the typical form. But the sete of the anterior segments were 
stronger than those of the remaining segments, which Michaelsen, 
in the passage just quoted, gives as a characteristic of the typical 
form 
In the ‘ Tierreich’ (Oligochaeta, 1900) Michaelsen describes the 
two forms as separate species. In the fact that the sete are 
disposed in an unbroken chain, and that the clitellum occupies 
the whole of three segments, the present form agrees with 
P. barbadensis ; while in having secondary diverticula from the 
intestinal ceca, and a curved prostatic duct, it resembles P. 
hawayana. Occupying thus an intermediate position, it serves to 
confirm Beddard’s view of the unity of these two species.
