shows ratliei- a three-sided ovitline in transverse section. The 

 duct traversing it is very narrow. 



Beyond the level of the penis the walls of the antrum {a.) have 

 an epithelium similar to that of the lower part of the uterine 

 duct. Round the penis the walls have a flattened epithelium and 

 are non-muscular. 



The vasa def erentia can be traced forward to a level about half- 

 way along the phaiynx. 



The testes are numerous and contain spermatozoa in all stages 

 of development, the vasa def erentia are crowded with them. 



The cells of the gut are large and rounded, and many of them 

 have broken away fi-om the gut-wall. 



Planaria tanganyikce differs from P. neumanni Keppi*, in its 

 smaller size. Its penis is more regularly conical and the uterus 

 also is more regular in shape. The body is perhaps, too, a little 

 broader proportionately, and the hinder end not so produced, 

 though it is impossible to rely on the shape of a preserved 

 specimen. 



Two other Planarians have been described from fresh-water 

 from East Africa — P. venusta Bohmig, and P. hrachycephala 

 Bohmig t ; but both these are known only from immature 

 specimens, 



P. tanganyikce is a very ordinary form, and certainly lends 

 no support to the hypothesis of the marine affinities of the Tan- 

 ganyikan fauna. 



4. The Rudd Exploration of S. Africa. — VI. List of Mammals 

 obtained by Mr. Grrant in the Eastern Transvaal. By 

 Oldfield Thomas, F.R.S., and Haeold Schwann, 

 F.Z.S. 



[Received October 4, 1906.] 



During April and May, before going down into the hotter 

 coast-belt, Mr. Grant made a stay at Legogot, a village in the 

 northei'n part of the Barberton district, at an altitude of about 

 3000 feet. There he obtained the Mammals recorded in the 

 following list. 



One species, a Shrew, is new, while the most valuable of the 

 other animals are the additional specimens of Pronolagus ruddi, 

 the large ally of the Rooi-haas, the description of which was 

 based on a specimen collected in Zululand at an earlier stage of 

 the Rudd Exploration. 



Before going to Legogot Mr. Grrant made a small collection at 

 a place called Turfloop, between Pietersburg and Woodbush, in
