posterior to clitellum, with chloragogen glands. Spermathecse without

 times as long as the funnels, which are sigmoid. No atrial and no 

 accessory glands. One set of penial glands confined to penial bulb. 

 A pair of long sperm sacs 

 and an ovisac. Neph- 

 ridia large, plurilobed. 

 Lymphocytes of medium

Locality. Unalaska, 

 Aug. 10, 1899. Collected 

 by Prof. W. A. Setchell. 

 Found under moss. 



Characteristics . One 

 of the smallest species 

 investigated. Specimens 

 found in August not fully 

 developed, clitellum want- 

 ing. No atrial glands 

 could be seen, and no ac- 

 cessory glands. Lymph- 

 ocytes extremely charac- 

 teristic, being strongly 

 eosinophilous, with red 

 granules surrounded by a 

 pellucid, uncolored zone. 

 Cells in the tissue too 

 small to allow of a more 

 detailed description.
