TURBELLARIA, 
Geoplana moseleyi, sp. nov. 
Sumare of the body, as in G. traversii. Mouth situated behind the middle; 
generative orifice half way between it and the posterior extremity. Eyes 
numerous round the anterior end, forming a line which expands into two 
patches on each side. Upper surface dark grey, speckled with white, 
bounded on the sides by a lateral stripe of brown; a broad dorsal stripe, 
orange, margined with brown, the brown separated from the orange by an 
interrupted narrow black line; lower surface brownish white 
Dunedin, in the bush, indes dead trees. 
The body is covered externally with very delicate cilia, which require a 
4 objective to see. 
Genus Rhynchodemus, Leidy. 
Body much elongated. Eyes two. Mouth cylindrical, elongate. Ex- 
ternal longitudinal muscles feebly developed. Ovaries simple, near the 
anterior EPs of the body. Lateral organs distinct. 
R. testaceus, sp. n 
Body dicia: Tr tapering to an acute point at either end; 
broadest part behind the centre; upper surface convex, finely Gabaverely 
striated; lower surface flat, without any ambulacral line. Eyes none. 
Mouth about two-thirds of the whole length from the anterior end; gene- 
rative orifice half way between it and the posterior end. Upper surface 
cherry-red to brick-red ; margin and ventral surface yellow. Length some- 
times three inches. 
Dunedin and Wellington, under stones, or in the ground. 
I have not been able to detect either eyes or cilia on this species. I 
refer it provisionally only to Rhynchodemus, in the absence of full informa- 
tion about the genera of ‘land Planarians.

Body long, sub-cylindrical or flattened, obtuse at the extremities ; head 
simple, no eyes; proboscis terminal, with a longitudinal pit on mE. side ;
