lU Prof. Srintosli's Notes from the 



ration being somewliat indefinite. The glandular belt at the 

 feet is also continued from side to side. Thereafter^ as a 

 rule, the bifid glandular areas at the feet are alone visible 

 from the dorsum. Yentrally the belt between the feet is 

 distinct at the eighth, ninth, and tenth, is more or less 

 interrupted on the eleventh, twellth, thirteenth, and at the 

 succeeding feet the glandular tissue is confined to the sides 

 of the feet, forming prominent ovoid enlargements in each 

 case. A median streak occurs in the raid-ventral line from 

 end to end. The proboscis is a flattened bladder-like orgaa 

 with papillae. 



In the general form of the body this species approaches 

 that of Maldune sursi, though in the large example the last 

 four bristled segments were more prominent and closer 

 together. They are followed by a narrow ring and then the 

 anal plate. The first sis bristled segments are comparatively 

 short, whilst those following are longer, and the fourteenth 

 and fifteenth are again somewhat shorter. The last four 

 diminish progressively, and in the prominent and broad 

 glandular feet agree with the figure of Maldane biceps given 

 by Malmgren. A single narrow ring devoid of bristles 

 follows the nineteenth bristled segment, and it has a glan- 

 dular area at each side. The anal segment has dorsally the 

 transversely ridged eminence for the vent, with its valve-like 

 plug behind at the opening, a process passing oft' from this 

 toward the median fissure of the anal cup. The latter is 

 broader dorsally than ventrally, with an acute fissure in the 

 mid-dorsal line and a more obtuse one in the mid-ventral 

 line, the lateral slit at each side penetrating deeply and 

 having a gaping opening at the bottom. The dorsal edge of 

 the anal plate is indented by shallow notches, which, how- 

 ever, are not quite regular, for ou the right six teeth and a 

 flat area at the lateral fissure occur, while on the left four 

 teeth and two flat areas are found. The ventral half of the 

 cup shows three or four shallow indentations on each side of 

 the mid- ventral notch. Between the dorsal and the ventral 

 notches is a median line, but no ridge. The anal plate 

 presents therefore small difl'erences from the descriptions of 

 Malmgren and Arwidsson, but these would appear to be due 

 chiefly to the more distinctly marked notches on the border. 

 A dimple occurs at the base of the caudal plate behind a 

 slight ring, which on this surface is between the first non- 

 bristled segment and the caudal rim. The segmental organs, 

 according to Arwidsson, occur from the seventh and ninth 

 segment.
