Dr. E. P. Wright on Dunlopea. 55 
of their Associate Members, and which he believed to belong to 
a new order of the group Turbellaria,—the straight alimentary 
canal and the absence of the anal orifice reminding one of the 
Rhabdoccela ; while the apparent absence of cilia, and the pecu- 
liar worm-like form, give the animal a very Helminthoid ap- 
pearance. Dr. Wright purposed to lay before the Linnean 
Society a full account of this curious creature, when he would 
fully discuss the question of its proper position among the An- 
nuloida; for the present, he would propose to name the genus 
after his friend A. Dunlop, Esq. It may be briefly characterized 
as follows :— 
DuNLOoPEA, nov. gen. 
Body flattened, ribbon-like, transversely wrinkled, one por- 
tion gradually tapering to a tail-like extremity, the other taper- 
ing but slightly, and ending by projecting on each side, some- 
what in the form of the head of the Zygena malleus. No eye- 
dots or apparent anal orifice. Mouth (?) situated on the ventral 
portion, about midway between the two extremities, in the midst 
of a four- or five-lobed foliaceous appendage; strongly resem- 
bling the branchiz of Doris. Living im the earth, and crawling 
in damp weather on the ground. 
1. D. ferudpoorensis, n. sp. 
So called after the district in which it was found. About 
4 inches in length. _ Dorsal surface of a greenish-brown colour, 
with a line of light yellowish-brown running longitudinally 
- along its central portion. Ventral surface of a lighter shade of 
colour. Central portion and (?) oral tuft of a light yellow 
colour. 
2. D. Grayia, nu. sp. 
This and the following species have been examined through 
the kindness of Dr. Gray, of the British Museum, who, when he 
saw the specimen of D. ferudpoorensis, at once recognized the 
animal, and, after a search of a few moments, produced a 
drawing of this species, which was discovered by Dr. Cantor 
in China, and is alluded to in his Catalogue of the Plants and 
Animals of that country. From the peculiar triangular head- 
lobes, and the brownish colour of the body, marked with
