When viewed from above, d is dorsally placed and c rather 

 above the lateral mai-gin. 



The clitellihm is not fully developed on any of the specimens, 

 as the intersegmental furrows are distinct ; but the characteristic 

 coloration extends over the five segments 13 to 17. 



Genital 2iores, c(-c. (text-fig. 78, p. 251). — The male pores are 

 situated in what appears to be a pair of tuhercula puhertatis on 

 segment 18 ; there is a very large, broad, subcircular papilla, on 

 each side, extending from nearly a to c ; this carries a somewhat 

 quadrangulnr depression surrounded by a distinct rim or margin ; 

 this depression is glandular and has all the characters of a tuber- 

 culum pubertatis (as seen in section) ; and the male pore is quite 

 small and situated in the outer edge of this gland, just within the 

 margin, i. e. nearly in line h. The two oviducal pores are situated 

 close together, in a pale area, near the anterior margin of 

 segment 14. 



There are only two pairs of spermathecal pores, situated at 

 7/8, 8/9. 



Internal Anatomy. 



There are no specially thick septa. 



The last heart is in segment 12. 



The gizzard is quite small ; the oesophagus is very much dilated 

 in segment 14, but there is no constriction separating it from the 

 canal ; its lining, however, is thrown into a series of horizontal, 

 lamelliform folds. 



The micronephridia, instead of being spread over a great part of 

 the body-wall, in each segment, form a very distinct and narrow 

 roiv close to the septa. 



The prostates extend from the 18th to 23rd segments, and each 

 is provided with a narrow duct. 



There are two pairs of spermatheca? in segments 8, 9 ; each 

 (text-fig. 79) is a somewhat pyriform sac, without a distinctl}" 

 mai-ked duct ; the diverticulum is of the same shape, and also 

 without definite duct. 



Locality. Ohaeawai, North Island, Kew Zealand. 



ReviarJcs. — A very distinct species, characterised both by the 

 remarkable coincidence of male pore and copulatory tubercle, and 

 by the possession of only two pairs of spermathecse. 



7, ToKEA MAORICA, sp. n, (Text-figs. 80-82.) 



I have eight specimens of this species, collected at different 

 times by Mr. H. Suter, at different places in the neighboiu-hood 

 of Auckland. The colour is a dark purplish brown, more brown 

 than purple in these alcohol specimens, and resembles that of 

 T. suteri. The clitellum is paler brown ; the cha?tfe are inserted 

 in white spots, as in Plagiochceta sylvestris, to which also they 

 bear a resemblance both in colour and their short, stout form ; 

 indeed, from a hasty first glance, I had placed them wdth the 

 latter srenus, awaitinar examination.
