 and vii. 



Hah. Malay Peninsula. 



It is clear that this species comes nearest to A. stelleri, from 

 which, however, it can readily be differentiated by the nature and 

 position of the genital papilla?. 



(10) Amyntas kelantanensis, sp. u. (Fig. 4, p. 903.) 



I have examined some thirty individuals of this new species, 

 which cannot be confused with any of its allies. It is a long and 

 slender species, measuring up to 105 mm. in length by about 

 3 mm. in breadth. The number of segments in the longest in- 

 dividual is 100. 



The scto? on the anterior segments are fewer and larger than 

 those upon the following segments. 



The cliteUum occupies fully its nsual segments and is entirely 

 without seta?. 



Gen ital papilla are rarely to be seen. When present (fig. 4, p. 903) 

 they consist of three pairs of whitish round patches, one pair on each 

 of segments vi.-viii., lying in front of the line of division between 

 each segment and that which follows. They are related to stalked 

 glands, which will be described when the internal viscera are 

 treated of. The male pores are conspicuous and widely separated. 

 There are about a dozen seta? between them. 



The gizzard-septa appear to be absent. The last heart is in the 

 xiiith segment. The large intestine begins in segment xv., and has 

 the usual pair of cceea, which are of fair length. 



The sperm-sacs are racemose in form and lie in segments xi. 

 and xii. 



The spermiducal glands extend from segment xvii. to xxi. 

 They are much broken up into lobules ; that part of the gland 

 which lies behind the male pores is wider from side to side than 

 the part lying anterior to them. The duct is not particularly 

 long and is coiled into a circle. There is no terminal sac. 



The spermathecw are present to the number of three pairs and 

 are situated in segments vii., viii., ix. The pouch has a round or 

 oval contour and communicates with the exterior by a duct 

 which is almost as long as the pouch. The diverticulum has a 

 characteristic form ; it is very long and if unwrapped would be 

 considerably longer than the sperm at heea?. The greater part of 

 the diverticulum is much coiled, and it is dilated at its extremity 

 into an oval chamber; the muscular duct is comparatively short. 

 An oval gland, whiter in colour than the diverticulum and with a 

 long stalk, opens in common with the spermathecal duct. The 

 arrangement, in fact, is very like that of Amyntas houlleti, with which 

 species, however, there is no possibility of confusing the present.
