even twice, as long as the anterior. In the specimen from Rham- 

 Tso Lake, however, the anterior portion of the genital organs 

 appears exactly as long as the posterior {vide table of measure- 

 ments). The anterior portion appears but little shorter than the 

 oesophagus, while in the observed females of D. stagnalis it was 

 usually considerably shorter, for, with a rare exception, the oeso- 

 phagus proved to be once-and- a-half to twice as long as the an- 

 terior part of the genital organs. At either side of the vagina four 

 or five ova are situated, more or less compressed against one an- 

 other ; somewhat farther distant from the genital aperture, each 

 oviduct contains another fully developed egg, 0"i to o'li mm. long. 



It is to be regretted that no more specimens were collected, 

 especially male specimens, which probably present greater differ- 

 ences, in which case the Tibetan species would, indeed, be different 

 from D. stagnalis. 



Prof, von Daday's paper on microscopical freshwater animals 

 from Mongolia (in Math. Termt. Ert..^ Budapest, 24, 1906) is not at 

 my disposal : according to the Zoological Record^ however, no new 

 species of the genus Dorylaimus are described in it. 



SUR LES GORDIENS RBCUEILIvIS PAR LE CAPITAINE 

 F. H. STEWART DANS LE TIBET. 



Par lyORENzo Camerano, Professeur d I'Universite de Turin. 



Monsieur N. Annandale, Superintendant du Musee d'Histoire 

 Naturelle Indien de Calcutta, a eu I'obligeance de me soumettre 

 les Gordiens recueillis par le Capitaine F. H. Stewart dans le Tibet. 

 Comme il s'agit d'une region peu exploree jusqu'a present je le crois 

 utile de publier les resultats relatifs aux Gordiens qui ont ete 

 recueillis, resultats qui vienn^nt completer aux ceux que j'ai deja 

 publics a propos des Gordiens rapportes d'autres regions du Tibet 

 et des pays voisins par I'expedition Russe de 1899 a 1901.
