Qgj.; dorsal pore after segment viii, but less distinct than those 
pairs follow. Nephridiopores : one pair to a segment, the first 
jj- p on the anterior margin of segment ii opposite the fourth seta 
on each side ; the next three pairs opposite the third setae ; the 
next pair opposite the second or the fourth setse, after which they 
oscillate regularly between these two ; slight individual variations 
are common, e.g., in some specimens the two nephridiopores on 
segment vi correspond with the second setae, while in two others 
one pore corresponds with the fourth, the other with the second, 
but on opposite sides of the body in the two specimens, and this 
arrangement may persist for a few segments or continue throughout. 
Alimentary canal : the gizzard in segment v ; in x-xiii four 
pau’s of large calcifex’ous pouches communicating with the canal 
by rather long ducts, each pair of ducts opening close together but 
on the floor of the canal ; large intestine commencing in xvi. 
Genitalia ; testes and ciliated rosettes two pairs in x and xi ; 
vesiculfe seminales two pairs in ix and xii ; the genital ducts 
come oflf from the anterior extremities of the long narrow pi’ostates, 
the hinder portions of which are bent sharply inwards and then 
forwards — the bends enclosing the genital ducts — sometimes 
reaching as far forward as segment xiv, or else compacted into a 
mass by being bent transver-sely first to one side and then to the 
other. Ovaries and oviducts as usual ; spermathecse four pairs in 
segments vi-ix, each with a single club-shaped csecum lying in front. 
The last pair of hearts in Xil, this and the two preceding jxairs 
very large. 
Nephridia: two alternating series of convoluted tubules cor- 
responding with the nephridiof)ores, a pair in each segment after 
the first, a vesicular ixortion close to the proKimal end of the 
tubule.

This species belongs to the group of which C.medilerreux is the 
type, but is readily distinguishable by the ])resence of four pairs 
of spermathecal pores, those of each pair unusually close together.
