214 Memoirs of the Indian Museum. [Voi,. I, 



Setae all on the ventral side, the median dorsal distance being greater than half 

 the circumference {dd=^u), the ventral setae strictly paired, the lateral setae less strictly^ 

 especially at the anterior and middle parts of the hoay {cd = i^ — 2ah). Ventral 

 median distance a little larger than the median lateral distances (aa = iJ6c). 

 Dorsal pores present. 



Clitellum ring-shaped, extending over segments 13 — 18 (=6). 

 Prostate pores on the 17th and 19th segments somewhat medial from the 

 lines of setae a. 



Seminal-furrows a little curved towards the ventral middle line. 

 Male area a little depressed, but not much, nearly circular. 

 Male pores not seen (on the i8th segment in the seminal-furrows ?). 

 Female pores on the anterior part of the 14th segment medial from the lines 

 of setae a. 



Spermathecal pores two pairs on the 8th and 9th segments in the zones of 

 setae somewhat medial from setae a. 



External copulatory organs are missing. 



Internal Anatomy.— Septum 5-6 strong, 6-7 apparently missing, 8-9 — 13-14 

 strong, especially 9-10 — 11-12. 



Alimentary tract: A big gizzard behind septum 5-6. A pair of thick, strongly 

 bent calciferous glands in the 15th segment. The calciferous glands show a number 

 of transverse restricting furrows, which give them almost the shape of moniliform 

 wreaths. Intestine with a big typhlosole, consisting of two longitudinal bladders 

 depending from a common base. 



Circulatory system: I^ast hearts in the 13th segment. Dorsal vessel simple. 

 Nephridial system micronephric. 



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

 the lothandiith segments. Sperm-duct-funnels of the first pair smaller than those 

 of the second pair and not glittering so intensely. One pair of sperm-sacs depending 

 from septum 11-12 into the 12th segment, I have not seen further sperm-sacs but it 

 seems to me possible that I overlooked such organs. 



Prostates small, tubular, stretching to the side and describing some irregular 

 undulations. Muscular duct small and tender. 

 I could not detect any pen ial setae. 



Spermathecae (fig. 32) with short sac-like ampulla which narrows distally to 

 go over into a cone-shaped muscular duct. This duct is about as long as the ampulla, 

 not abruptly set off from the latter, distally narrowing. Into the proximal part of this 

 duct, if not into the distal part of the ampulla, opens a small, clumsy diverticulum about 

 half as thick as long, and about half as long as the main pouch, bent against the side of 

 the ampulla. The diverticulum contains in its proximal lumen some small clusters 

 of sperm, but I could not make out whether these were lying free in a general simple 

 lumen or whether they were separated into different small seminal chambers.
