200 mm., 105 segments. Setae inierrupted dorsally and ventrally, 

 100 on xxv. Clitellum xiii.-xiv., with setae on all segments. A 

 depression, square in outline, occupies segments xvii.-xx. Papillae 

 paired on xvii. and xix. Gizzard-septa present. No caeca. 

 Spermiducal glands limited to xviii. Spermathecae with very 

 short sessile diverticulum. 



Hob. Marinduque in Philippines. 



Dr. Michaelsen has called attention to the fact that this species, 

 referred by Eosa to the genus Megascolex on account of certain 

 obvious characters mentioned above, should be placed in Amyntas 

 on account of the position of the gizzard in viii. 



89. Amyntas papua Eosa. 



Perichceta papua, Eosa, Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, (2) xix. p. 63. 



84 mm., 84 segments. Setae 44 on v., 66 on xxv. Setae on all 

 clitellar segments. Male pores very close, with 4 seta? between.

 they extend through three segments and have a small median 

 narrow prolongation. Spermiducal glands in xvii.-xix. Diverti-

I agree with Michaelsen as to the identity of my " molokaiensis " 

 with "■peregrinus," and I think there can be no question as to 

 "jioweri " being a synonym.
