3 from a freshwater stream, Tibu, King Island. 



These examples of this species illustrate what takes place in the 

 formation of the hinge between the hyo- and the hypoplastra. 

 In one specimen, measuring 5*31 inches in length, the abdominal 

 plates, in their anterior thirds, almost completely overlap the 

 suture between these bones, the position of which, however, can 

 be detected by the presence of a transverse groove or depression 

 running across the plates ; whereas in the other two specimens, 

 measuring respectively 7'28 inches and 7'48 inches in length, a 

 portion of the abdominal plates has become cut across by the 

 functional activity of the joint, and exists as a little plate between 

 the pectorals and abdominals.
