70 Mr. F. E. Beddard and Miss Sophie M. Fedarb on 
shape and placed just in front of the row of sete. ‘Their 
length is equivalent to about eight sete, and each papilla is 
separated from its fellow by about the same number of sete. 
The dorsal pores commence between segments xii. and xill, 
The gizzard very exceptionally lies in segment viil., not 
extending into adjacent segments. The only other species of 
Pericheta in which a similar state of affairs has been hitherto 
recorded is P. pentacystis, in which the gizzard lies also in 
seement viii. The intestine is entirely without the charac- 
teristic ceeca of this genus. 
Septa iv./viii. and xi./xiv. are thickened. 
The last pair of hearts are in segment xill. 
The spermathece are, as in P. Stelleri, very numerous. 
There are 12 and 17 in segments vi. and vii. respectively. 
Each spermatheca has a single diverticulum. There are a 
distinct pair of egg-sacs in segment xiv., which seem to be 
unusually large. A second pair in segment xill, may be egg- 
sacs or may possibly be a posterior pair of sperm-sacs. ‘The 
point was not definitely settled; but it appears that in some 
species there are a second pair of egg-sacs in segment Xill., 
while in others the same segment contains a pair of sperm- 
sacs. 
Hlab. Mount Kina Balu. 
Pericheta papillata, sp. n. 
The length is 500 millim., the diameter 7 millim. These 
measurements, however, are probably not quite natural, as 
the individual is much softened. 
The clitellum occupies segments xiv.—xvi., and is entirely 
‘without sete. 
The male pores are separated by ten sete. 
On each of the ten following segments is a pair of papilla, 
lying closer to the middle line than do the male pores, and in 
front of the line of sete: of their segments. 
The dorsal pores commence between segments xii. and xiii. 
‘The intestine has no ceca. 
Septa iv./vill. and ix./xiii. are thickened. 
The last hearts lie in segment xii. 
‘Lhe sperm-sacs are in segments xi, and xii. 
‘There are a pair of egg-sacs in segment xiil. 
'xhe spermathece lie in segments vi. and vii. There are 7 
in each segment. Hach has a small coiled diverticulum, 
ending in an oval sac.
