Records of the Indian Museum. [Vol. XXIV, 



The spermathecal apertures are transverse slits with their 

 centre between b and c, but nearer c, — the outer end of the slit 

 reaches the line of c. 



The spermathecae are somewhat ovoid sacs; the duct is very 

 short and stout, from the under sur- 

 face of the ampulla ; the margin of the 

 ampulla is crenated. The diverticula 

 are two, attached to the beginning of the 

 duct and rather on its posterior side; 

 they appear to have one, two, or three 

 small chambers. 



The peculiar penial setae are 2-^ mm. 

 long, and 26/j. thick in the middle ; the 

 shaft is almost straight, and the tip is 

 bluntly pointed. The oblique markings, 

 closely set along the borders of the 

 distal end of the seta, are interpreted by 

 Beddard as " chevron-shaped ridges " ; 

 but the appearance is almost as if there 

 were a cleavage along the oblique lines

Genus Eudichogaster Mich.

 Bombay. Coll. Prof. J. P. Mullan. 



External Characters : — Length 134 mm. Diameter 6 mm. 

 Segments 200. Colour a light and even grey, no difference be- 

 tween dorsal and ventral surfaces. Anterior end rather bulbous. 

 Secondary annulation on the anterior segments ; iv and v biannu- 

 lar, vi triannular, vii and onwards to the clitellum with four, five 

 or even more annuli. 



Prostomium small and prolobous ; a median dorsal groove 

 divides segm. i throughout its length. 



Dorsal pores very small, the first in furrow 12/13 ; perhaps a 

 small or rudimentary pore in 11/12. 



Setae are not visible in segments ii-iv, and only a few are 

 seen in v and vi. In the middle of the body ab—2/j aa=2/5 

 6c=2/3 cd, and rfi=ca. 4/7 of the circumference ; behind the 

 genital region ab = \ aa=i/3 be = 4/7 cd, while dd = 2/3 of the 

 circumference; in the anterior segments the ratios are about the 

 same as these last. 



The clitellum is not distinctly developed, but perhaps extends 

 over £xiii-|xvii.
