Internal Anatomy. — Septa 7-8 — 12-13 somewhat thickened, but not much, 

 septa 8-9 — 1 1- 1 2 the most distinctly. 



Alimentary tract: A large gizzardin the 7th segment, if not further anteriorly. 

 Oesophagus up to the 12th segment simple, only a little swollen segmentally. In 

 each of the two segments 13 and 14 is a pair of large, kidney-shaped lateral swellings 

 with the characteristic structure of calciferous glands. But these swellings are not 

 set off from the general wall of the œsophagus (not stalked), and their lumen is not 

 separated from the general lumen. CE)sophagus narrow in the 15th segment. The in- 

 testine, which begins suddenly in the i6th segment, is not provided with a typhlosole. 



Circulatory system: Dorsal vessel simple. I^ast hearts in the 12th segment. 



Nephridial system micronephric. In the posterior part of the body some 

 (four in one segment ?) seem to be somewhat larger than the others, nearly equalling 

 small meganephridia. 



Anterior male organs: Two pairs of sperm-duct-funnels free in the loth and 

 .nth segments. Two pairs of broad grape-like sperm-sacs depend from septa lo-ii 

 and 11-12 into the nth and 12th segments. 



Prostates tubular. The glandular part is rather thick and very long, des- 

 cribing in each segment some irregular windings, closely pressed together; it extends 

 through about twelve segments, from the 23rd to about the 34th. The duct arises 

 abruptly from the glandular part. It is relatively long, describing some irregular, 

 but not very broad windings, especially in its proximal part. It extends from the 23rd 

 segment to the point of its opening in the i8th segment. The proximal third part of 

 the duct is very narrow ; the distal part is rather thick and muscular. There are 

 no penial setae. 



Spermathecse: Main pouch with a large sack-like ampulla, which opens through 

 a very short and narrow, indistinct duct. Into this latter opens a thin tube-like 

 diverticulum, about half as long as the main pouch and somewhat bent, and contain- 

 ing in its proximal half a simple seminal chamber. This seminal chamber is formed 

 only by a widening of the lumen consequent on a thinning of the walls of the diverti- 

 culum. The diverticulum is not at all broader in the region of this seminal chamber; 

 on the contrary it is somewhat narrower.
