262 SUBANTARCTIC ISLANDS OF NEW ZEALAND. lOliijochadu. 



Subneural copulatory glands in 14, 15, 16, and 17 in all the four mounted speci- 

 mens. The gland extends up the side of the nerve-cord to reach the level of its 

 upper surface ; the "wing" on each side is rather greater than the width of the cord. 



Locnliti/. — Campbell Island : (a.) Perseverance Harbour ; shore ; a consider- 

 able number collected in February, 1907, under stones, sea-shore, near exit of a 

 stream from the flanks of Mount Honey; (W. B. B.). (h.) Collected in November; 

 (J. B. Mayne). — Auckland Islands : Norman's Inlet, on the east coast ; (H. B. Kirk). 



Remarks. — This new species is intermediate in most characters between L. 

 maximus, Mich.,* and L. verrucosus. Clap., both of which have been recorded from 

 Antarctic shores. In size it is about half that of the former, and twice that of the 

 latter. The number of chaetae agrees with L. maximus,^ as do also the copulatory 

 glands. With L. verrucosusX it agrees in the enveloping clitellum, the length of the 

 sperm-funnel, and the form of the spermatheca ; but from both it differs in the 

 backward point of origin of the dorsal vessel, which is further back than in any 

 species of that group of species to which it belongs, as well as in the presence of a 

 septal gland in the 7th segment. 



It is quite distinct trom L. macquariensis, Benham,§ which belongs to an<jther 

 group of this genus, in which tlie spermathecal duct is sharjjly marked off from the 

 ampulla.

The species, as I remarked in my description of it, is nearly allied to Ude's| 

 L. Diaiitimus, from Tierra del Fuego.

This species was recorded by me from the Campbell and Macquarie Islands ; 

 but I did not meet with it during this expedition. It has also been recorded by 

 Michaelsen from the Crozets,|| and is found on Tierra del Fuego and south Patagonia. 



Marionina, Michaelsen, 1890. 

 Marionina antipodum, Benham. 



1905. Trans. N.Z. Inst., xxxvii, p. 294. 



I did not meet with this species during the present expedition, Init it was 

 collected by Dr. Cockayne on Antipodes Island. It is related to certain Fuegian 

 species*[| and to those on Kerguelen and the Crozets.**
