372 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION D. 



(a) Dark olive-green above, with faint dark reddish 

 speckles. Ventral surface greyish-yellow, with pale reddish 

 speckles, except in the middle line. At anterior end of 

 dorsal surface a thin median line of paler greenish or greenish- 

 white. Length when crawling about one inch. 



(Z») Colour on dorsal surface dark chocolate-brown, 

 speckled with green. No stripes. Ventral surface white, 

 closely speckled with chocolate-brown. Very inactive, slug- 

 shaped. 



Locality. — A moss-grown, rotten log, near the Silver Falls 

 on Mount Wellington. 



Oeoplana s]i. 



A single small specimen, about two-fifths of an inch long 

 in spirit, and a little over one-twentieth of an inch broad. 

 When alive the dorsal surface was wdiitish, closely speckled 

 with light brown, and with a thin continuous brown median 

 line. The anterior extremity was brown, and the ventral 

 surface white. In spirit the ventral surface is much flattened, 

 and the dorsal surface strongly arched ; the peripharyngeal 

 a])erture is in about the centre of the ventral surface, and the 

 genital aperture apparently about half way between the 

 peripharyngeal and the posterior e\n\, but not very satisfac- 

 torily determined. 



This s})ecimen appears to be related to our Victorian G. 

 quadruiiguiata^ and G. i-entrojmnctata^ . The shape of the 

 body IS more that of veniroimnctata, but there are no specks 

 on the ventral surface. 



Locality. — Hill at foot of Mount Wellington, near 

 Hobart. 



3. Notes on some South Australian Land Planarians. 

 The two specimens described below were collected in 

 November, 1891, at Norton's Summit, near Adelaide, by 

 Mr. Thos. Steel, and forwarded to me in a living and healthy 

 condition. It will be seen that one is identical with a Vic- 

 torian s]iecies, and the other a variety of the same. 



Geo-plana fietclieri (Dendy)."' 



The specimen measured about 60 mm. long by 4 mm, 

 broad when very fully extended. The body, in life, was
