1907.] THE SECEETARY ON ADDITIONS TO THE MENAGERIE. 281 



addition to these there was a smaller pair upon the xiith segment, 

 more ventrally placed, and in fact corresponding in position to 

 the posterior series. These latter papilla3 in the present specimen 

 are fewer than in the adult, but they commence upon the same 

 segment, i. e. the xxiiird. Thei-e are four upon the right side of 

 the body and only two upon the left. 



The gizzard is distinctly contained in two segments, which are 

 the vith and viith ; the greater part of it, however, lies in seg- 

 ment vii. The mesenteries separating segments vi./ix. are thick. 

 The rather small ccdciferous glands are in segment ix. ; the intes- 

 tine begins suddenly in segment xi. The dorsal blood-vessel is 

 dilated in segment ix. I imagine that this species is one of those 

 which only possess one set of testes, funnels, ifec. For the sperm- 

 sacs and reservoirs consist of one pair in the ixth segment attached 

 to the posterior wall of that segment and a pair in the xth 

 attached to its anterior wall, i. e. the same septum as that which 

 bears the sperm-sacs. The two sacs of each side of the body seem 

 to communicate, and I take the anterior pair to be the sperm-sacs 

 and the posterior pair to contain the funnels. 



T was quite unable to find any spermathecse. 1 am unwilling, 

 however, to assert that these organs are absent. If they happened 

 to contain no sperm their minute size and the softened condition 

 of the worm would render it at least very difiicult to detect them. 

 The only other species, as it appears, in which no spermatheca; 

 have been detected is Dr. Michaelsen's recently described M. griseus* . 

 But as this latter species is holandrous it cannot be confused with 

 M. ziduensis, than which it is also a good deal smaller.

 The total number of departures during the same period, by death 

 and removals, was 188. 



Among the additions special attention may be directed to : — 



A Long-tailed Goral (^Nemorhoidus caudatus), from Korea, new
