13. Notes on an Indian Worm of the Genus Cheetogaster—By 
Ne.son Annanpae, B.A., D.Sec., Deputy Superintendent of the Indian 
Museum. (With one plate. ) 
The fresh-water worms of the genus Chsetogaster are held by 
me authorities t titut parate family; but Beddard,' whom 
I have followedin drawing up my account of Gh. bengalensis, regards 
Rn 
mmon and [ 
the Botanical Gardens at Sibpur. This merely proves, as I have 
much indebted to my friends Mr. F, F. 
Ilege, Manchester, and Dr. J. H. Ashworth, of the 
My thanks are also due to Major A. Alcock for his unfailing 
Sympathy and assistance in the work undertaken. 
Description of Cheetogaster bengalensis, sp. nov. 
Prostomium forming a large, sub-circular sucker: another 
smaller sucker at the posterior extremity of the body. sophagus 
longer than pharynx, with two well-marked dilatations, the poste- 
rior 
arance somewhat resembling that of an AVolosoma. 
Possibly this worm should be regarded as the type of a new 
genus; but it seems more convenient to regard it for the present 
as a Chetoguster.
