NOTES OX AUSTRALIAN EARTHWORMS, 
The last pair of hearts in xii. 
Xephridia : three pairs of delicate tubules to a segment (except 
a few anterior ones). 
Hob . — Xear Parramatta, N.S.W, 
In my desci’iption of Digaster armifera (P.L.S. N.S.W. (2) 
Vol. I. p. 948) the specimen referred to as “ one very small speci- 
men (34 mm. long) has a very good clitellum which takes in a 
portion of xii and includes xvii,” I now know to belong to Crypto, 
drilus mediocris ; a single example, the first met with, was obtained 
with the specimens of Digaster, and was not recognised as genericaily 
ditferent ; by an error the first and second segments were counted 
as one. 
Cryptodrilus Illawarr.h, n.sp. 
Of ten (spirit) specimens four complete ones are from 8-10 cm. 
long, 2-3 mm. broad; number of segments 250-270. 
Colour pallid or pale flesh-colour. Prostomium only partially 
divides the buccal ring (less than half). 
SetiB of the two outer couples about twice as far apart as those 
of the two inner ones, but closer than the two couples of each side; 
the eight rows straight and regular throughout. 
Clitellum comprises four segments, xiv-xvii, compact and com- 
plete all round (flve of the specimens without girdles). 
^lale pores on conspicuous papillae on xviii about corresponding 
with the intervals between the setae of the inner couples but 
extending both ways a little beyond, the pores themselves would 
be nearer the position of the outer setae of the couples if these 
were visible on xviii ; the ventral portion of the middle annulus 
of XVIII intermediate between the papillae usually tumid so as to 
form a transverse ridge more or less completely connecting them. 
Oviduct pores on xiv, rather close together, each being nearer to 
the median line than to the seta dorsad of it ; spermathecal pores 
two pairs, between vii and viii, and viii and ix, opposite but just
