external orifices of the spermathece. They are found on the 
ventral sides of the body between segments 4 and 5, and cannot 
be overlooked. Another point of interest is the presence of two 
distinct forms of lymph corpuscles. In this respect it comes near 
to M. crassa (Clap.), and it is possible that eventually these two 
species will serve as the basis of a new genus. At present they 
o not perfectly fit in. either with Pachydrilus or Marionza. 
I hope to throw more light thereon during the present year.
