MONILIGASTER GRANDIS, A. G. B. 377 
EXPLANATION OF PLATES 22—28, 
Illustrating Professor A. G. Bourne’s memoir “ On Monili- 
gaster grandis, A. G. B., from the Nilgiris, S. India ; 
together with descriptions of other species of the genus 
Moniligaster.” 
PLATE 22. 
Fie. 1.—Moniligaster grandis. The entire worm drawn from life, 
natural size. This was the largest specimen I ever found. The clitellum 
extending over Segments X, XI, XII, and x111 is much better marked than in 
the majority of individuals during life. The tail had been regenerated. 
Fic. 2.—Moniligaster grandis. Ventral view of the thirty-six most 
anterior segments drawn from life from a smaller specimen. sp. Position of 
the spermathecopores. @, 9. Position of the male and oviducal pores. 
i. s. Letters with reference lines, inserted to show that the structures so 
marked represent inner seta couples. 
PLATE 23. 
Entire worms drawn from life, natural size. c/. Clitellum. 
Fic. 3.—Moniligaster pellucida. The anterior end is shown in the 
characteristic form it assumes when contracted. 
Fic. 4.—Moniligaster uniqua. 
Fic. 5.—Moniligaster chlorina. 
Fie. 6.—Moniligaster ophidioides. 
Fic. 7.—Moniligaster robusta. From r. onwards the tail had been 
regenerated. 
Fic. 8.—Moniligaster sapphirinaoides.—A typical specimen from 
very wet ground at Naduvatam showing the iridescence. 
Fic. 9.—Moniligaster sapphirinaoides-robusta, An example of 
a worm with external and internal characters intermediate between those of 
the two species, probably a hybrid. 
Fic. 10.—Moniligaster sapphirinaoides-ophidioides,—An example 
of a worm with external and internal characters intermediate between those 
of the two species, probably a hybrid. 
Fie. 11.—Moniligaster parva. 
Fie. 12.—Moniligaster minuta. 
Fie. 13.—Moniligaster rubra.
