Sperm-ducts relatively very thick, passing the distal end of the prostates to 

 a considerable distance laterally, then turning towards the ventral median line; at the 

 same time they become very thick, and are provided with a muscular coat at the distal 

 end. Finally they open, narrowing again, from behind into the same pores as the 

 prostates. 



Penial setge (fig. 50) about 2 mm. long and in the middle about 40 r^ thick, 

 at the proximal parts nearly straight, somewhat bent only in the distal fourth part. 

 The distal end has a simple rather blunt tip and is somewhat broadened just below 

 the latter ; on the convex side in relation to the curvature of the seta this broadened 

 part is somewhat hollowed. With the exception of the differentiated distal extremity 

 the distal fourth part of the seta is ornamented by irregular transverse rows of moder- 

 ately great triangular teeth. These transverse rows sometimes combine to form an 

 irregular annulation. 



Spermathecse (fig. 49) : Main pouch with an irregular sac- or pear-shaped 

 ampulla, which is nearly as long as thick, and a short narrow duct. Into the latter 

 open, abreast of each other or somewhat above one another, two oblong simple diverti- 

 cula, the one half as thick as the other and more than half as thick as long ; the longer 

 one nearly as long as the ampulla. The diverticula, which are hardly narrowed at 

 the base, are occupied in almost their entire length by a simple seminal chamber.

Remarks. — The present collection contains two specimens of a Glossoscolecid 

 which unfortunately cannot be determined as the specimens are quite immature. This 

 is the first time that an apparently endemic Glossoscolecid has been noticed from India
