(8) Cryptodrilus obscurus (SPENCER). 

 Megascolides obscurus, SPENCER, loc. cit., p. 148. 



Definition. Length, 425 mm. ; breadth, 1 2 mm. Pi-ostomium incomplete. Clitellum, 

 XIII-XIX. Male pores on a level with interval between setae 1/2. Genital papillae 

 median impaired, XIII/XIV, XIX/XX, XX/XXI. Dorsal pores commence V/TI. Gizzard 

 in VI ; no calciferons glands, but swellings in XIII-XV. Intestine begins in XVIII. 

 Sperm-sacs in XII ; spermathecae in VIII, IX, each with two small diverticula. Hab 

 Dandenong Ranges. 

 The testes are only one pair in xi; but there are two pairs of funnels, those of x 



smaller. 



(9) Cryptodrilus hulmei (SPENCER). 

 Megascolides hulmei, SPENCER, loc. cit., p. 147. 



Definition. Length (of an incomplete specimen"), 3 ft. 5 in. ; breadth, 6 mm. Prostomium 

 incomplete. Clitellum, XIII-XX. Setae of outer couples slightly further apart than 

 those of inner. Genital papillae unpaired; on XIII/XIV, XVI, XVII, XIX/XXIL 

 Dorsal pores commence VIII/IX. Gizzard in V ; no calciferous glands ; intestine in 

 XVII. Sperm-sacs in XII ; spermathecae in VIII, IX, with small diverticulum. 

 Hab. Dandenong Ranges. 

 Here again there is only one pair of testes in xi, but two pairs of funnels.

Definition. Length, 150 mm. ; breadth, 6 mm. Clitellum, saddle-shaped, XIII XVIII. 

 Setae of outer rows further apart than those of inner. Posteriorly wider still. Male 

 pores on interval between setae 1/2. Ovidiical pores ventral of, and anterior to inner- 

 most setae. Genital papillae white swollen ridges ventrally on XFXXI. Dorsal pores 

 commence IX/X. Gizzard in VI ; vascular swellings in X, XI ; small diverticula in 

 XII-XIV ; large calciferous glands in XV-XVII ; intestine begins in XIX. Testes and 

 funnels one pair in XI. Sperm-sacs in XII ; tspermathecae in VIII, IX, with short 

 diverticulum. Jlab. Damlcuong
