described, and two species of this genus have now been added 
to the one (M. rubroniveus Lev. =Vermiculus pilosus Goodrich), 
already known. I found, however, a new Enchytreus and a 
new Limnodrilus in the mud, the latter occurring in the Lily 
Ponds in Kew Gardens as well. The diagnoses are as follows :— 
1. Limnodrilus aurantiacus, n. sp. 
Length 6-8 mm. or more, with about 60 segments. Brilliant 
orange coloured cells in segments 8 to 20 or thereabouts— 
hence the name. Sete usually 5 in segments 2 to 8, and three 
behind the 8th segment, varying somewhat in size in two ways. 
The sete in front (anterior) are to those ofthe posterior seg- 
ments as 3: 2 in length, while the individuals of the anterioy

segments are of unequal lengths. A large heart occurs in 
segment 8 with a less prominent one in the gth. The penis 
sheath is slightly bent, and its length is to its greatest breadth 
as 13: 1. It is of value also to observe that the penis sheath 
is five times as long as the hinder setz, and nearly four times 
the length of those in the anterior bundles. The brain is 
roundish, with strong processes in front and a slight concavity 
behind. The shape of the spermathece can only be rightly 
understood by means of a drawing. The pharynx reaches to 
the posterior end of the 4th segment, and the septa 4/5 to 7/8 are 
thickened. The nephridia of the tail possess a verv tiny ante- 
septal. ee
