388 A. SEDGWICK. 
3. Legs with three spinous pads (Fig. 6). 
4, Nephridial openings of legs four and five on the 
proximal side of the third pad (Fig. 6) and attached to it. 
5. Feet with three distal papille (two in front and one 
behind). 
6. Genital openings between the legs of the penultimate 
pair. 
7. Oviduct is provided with a receptaculum seminis. It is 
not known whether it contains spermatozoa or has two ducts. 
8. There is a receptaculum ovorum smaller than in Neo- 
Peripatus. 
9. The oviducts and ovaries are entirely separate from one 
another. 
10. It is not clear from those writings of Bouvier which 
are accessible to me (1907), whether the ovary is endogenous 
or exogenous. I gather that it is endogenous. - 
11. Size of ripe ova not determined, not less than ‘06 mm. 
(Bouvier, ’07, p. 3495). 
12. Young embryonic stages not known. 
13. Uterine embryos differ much in age. Those near the 
uterine opening collect into a large uterine dilatation. 
14. Unpaired part of vas deferens of great length. 
15. Spermatophores unknown. 
16. Skin pigment brownish, extracted by alcohol. 
17. Legs with well-developed coxal organs. 
18. Crural glands in the two pairs of pre-genital legs in 
male (two pairs on each leg) opening on papillee. 
19. The accessory glands of the male open in front of the 
anus in a common furrow. 
Bouvier, in commenting on this species (’07, p. 336) depre- 
cates giving it a generic name on the ground that we do not 
know what the future discoveries in equatorial Africa have 
in store for us; precisely the same reason, be it observed, 
that actuated me in declining to name my four groups. It 
would be interesting to know M. Bouvier’s reasons for adopt- 
ing generic rank for those species while declining it for his 
own.
