SYSTEMATIC UST OF THE OLIGOCH^TA OF INDIA, NEPAI., 

 CEYI.ON, BURMA AND THE ANDAMAN ISlvANDS. 



In the following table I present a complete systematic list of all the species known 

 from India, Nepal, Ceylon, Burma and the Andaman Islands, including those in the 

 recently examined collections. To this list, which forms the first column in the table, 

 I have added four other columns. The second indicates the memoir containing the 

 best description of the species ; the third gives the locality of the species within the 

 region discussed ; the fourth notes the further distribution of the species and the further 

 endemic occurrence of the genus beyond the limits of the region ; while the fifth and 

 last contains notes on the biological characters of the genus and on the general f aunistic 

 characters of the species. The endemic localities of the terrestrial, not of the limnic and 

 littoral species, are printed in antique type ; this is also the case in the fourth column 

 as regards the endemic localities of the genera that possess endemic terrestrial species 

 in the region : —
