" On close examination in a favourable light it is seen that the 

 whole worm is clothed from head to tail in a more or less dense 

 furry covering of hairlike processes, closely set, extremely fine, and 

 apparently of cuticular origin " (Goodeich). " Each segment, from 

 the second, is provided with two dorsal and two ventral bundles 

 of setoe, placed in a transverse section nearly at the four corners 

 of a square. Each bundle contains from two to five seta?, generally 

 three " (Goodeich). " Oberstes Borstenästchen ein ganz wenig 

 länger und schmaler als das unterste " (Levinsen, fide Ditleysex 

 1904). " A short way behind the mouth is a muscular pharynx 

 in the second segment, followed by a slender oesophagus 

 stretching through the third and fourth segments and from the 

 fifth segment backwards a straight intestine covered with brown 

 chloragogen cells " (Goodeich). The main mass of the nephri- 

 dium is situated in the anterior part of a segment and the 

 nephridiopore opens to the exterior further backwards than the 

 hindermost margin of the main mass (Goodeich' s fig. 25). " The 

 internal funnel is small and somewhat flattened, but has its dorsal 

 lip expanded into a large, flat, ciliated process of oval shape " 

 (Goodeich). " Der Trichter, der eine sehr lange Oberlippe hat, 

 führt in eine hinter dem Dissepiment liegende, birnförmige Partie 

 über, worin die Kanäle in vielen Schlingen verlaufen. Von der 

 Ventralseite derselben geht eine grosse, viereckige, ziemlich zusam- 

 mengedrückte Partie aus ; in diese läuft der Kanal hinein und 

 kreuzt sie in verschiedenen Eichtungen ; von liier steigt der Kanal 

 wieder gegen die Dorsalseite des Organs auf und geht als ein kurzer 

 Ausführungsgang zur Körper wand hinaus " (Ditlevsen). " The 

 sperm- ducts are rather short tubes opening by means of widely 

 opened shallow ciliated funnels into the tenth segment. A short
