SetfB arranged in continuous rings : 32/ii., 35/iii., 4(i/vi., 

 65/x., 70/xiii., 70/xxii. ; tliere are no dorsal and ventral gaps. 

 Tlie setaj of the anterior and caudal segments are sllglitljr 

 stronger. 



First dorsal pore in intersegmental furrow xii./xiii. 



Clitellum embracing segments xiv.-xvi., unprovided with 

 intersegmental furrows. The setse are wanting on the 

 clitellum. 



Male pores in the ring of setse of the xviii. segment ; 

 between the male pores the setee are wanting. On segments 

 xvii. or xix. there are about seven setie between the lines 

 of male pores. The distance between the lines of male pores 

 corresponds to 4- of the segment circumference. 



Paired papillae are present on segments xix. and xx., 

 one pair for each segment, close to the middle ventral line, 

 behind the ring of setse. A third pair of papillae, or a single 

 lateral papilla, may be present in the same position on the 

 xxi. segment. In one specimen a pair of papillse is present 

 on the viii. segment, in front of the ring of setse, and about 

 in the same lines with the papillse above mentioned. 



On the xix. and xx. segments there is also present a pair 

 of ))apilla3, or a single lateral papilla, behind the ring of 

 set« ; these pa])illre are disposed laterally to the lines of the 

 male pores. The distance between the lateral papillse of 

 each jniir corresponds to about ^ of the segmental circum- 

 ference. 



Female pore on the xiv. segment, in a little grey area 

 surrounded by a white ring. Spermathecal apertures in 

 iiitersegmfntal furrows vii./viii. and viii./ix., about in the 

 same lines with the male pores, slightly closer ventrally. 



Inlernal awitoviTj. — Sejjta iv./v.-vii./viii. are moderately 

 thickened ; gizzard septa viii./ix. and ix./x. are wanting. 

 Gizzard very strong, just behind septum vii./viii. Tho 

 sacculated intestine begins in the xv. segment, and is 

 provided at tho xxvi. segment with a pair of caeca which 

 extend forv^ard through four segments. Tiie cseea are 

 simple in structure. Hearts paired in segments x.-xiii. 



'J'lio s])erm-capsuh!s in segments x. and xi. are ventrnl 

 to the oe-!Ophagiis ; those of the same segment do not seem to 

 communicate with each other, but the capsules of the x, 

 communicate with those of the following segment through 

 septum x./xi. Spcvm-sacs paired in xi. and xii. segments. 



The spermiducal glands are rather large, and extend 

 through segments xvii. and xviii. Each gland is a white 

 reu:form body, com[jrcssed between the body-wall and the
