ON THE VICTORIAN LAND PLANARIANS. 73 



3. Gcoplana munda, Fletcher and Hamilton. 



1887. Geoplana vtnnda, Fletcher and Hamilton, Proceedings of the Linnean 

 Society of New South Wales. Series II., Vol. 2, p. 369, PI. V., Fig. 8. 



" Undersurface greyish in centre, yellowish towards the margins. Above 

 there is a narrow median dorsal line of pale olive brown, bounded on either side by 

 a very fine dark line, external to which is a broader band of a slightly darker brown, 

 and this is bordered externally by a very dark brown line which graduaUy merges 

 into a rather broad band of very dark brow^n which fades gradually towards its outer 

 margin. 



"This pretty little Planarian retains its colours in spirit very well but the under- 

 surface becomes quite white. The single specimen obtained measured when alive 

 and crawling, 2*5 cm. long, and 3 mm. broad. In spirit it measures 15 mm. long, 

 4 mm. broad, the mouth 6 mm. behind the anterior extremity, and the generative 

 aperture 2 mm. behind the mouth." (Fletcher and Hamilton, loc. cit.) 



As I have not seen this species in the living condition I quote the above 

 description of Fletcher and Hamilton. Mr. J. Bracebridge Wilson sent me sixteen 

 specimens in spirits, from the Otway Forest, which agree excellently with the above 

 account, but I could not find the genital aperture. The species was described by 

 Fletcher and Hamilton from a single specimen. 



Localities. — Hartley Vale (New South Wales) ; Otway Forest (Victoria). 



4. Geoplana spenceri, Dendy. 



1889. Geoplana spenceri, Dendy, Transactions of the Royal Society of 

 Victoria. Vol. I., Part 2, p. 60, Pis. 7, 8, 9, 10. 



For the description and figures of this species I must refer the reader to my 

 former paper. 



Localities. — M'Mahon's Creek, Warburton, Walhalla (Victoria). 



5. Geoplana adce, n. sp. (Fig. 7). 



The body is nearly oval in section, flattened ventrally, tapering rather more 

 gradually in front than behind. The opening into the peripharyngeal chamber is
