24. P. parvicystis, n. sp. 

 Observations made on 45 specimens. Length about 140 mm., breadth 7 mm. ; 

 number of segments 90 or so. Number of setœ in the spermathecal region usually 40. 

 Clitellum XIV — XVI, without seta;. Spermathecal pores two pairs, on tops of pa- 

 pillae near the anterior margins of segments VII, Vili (fig. 8). On the intersegmental 



lines VI/VII, VII/VIII, in the same longitudinal lines 

 with the spermathecal pores, there are one or two 

 minute papilla; on either side ; these are the openings 

 of the " capsulogenous glands." .No genital papilla in 

 this region. Male pores in XVIII, sometimes on top 

 of papillae, separated by 14 seta;. Genital papilla; 

 mostly two pairs, directly inside the male pores, one on 

 In a few specimens there are an additional pair of

 papilla; directly behind the male pores. On these papilla? open the capsulogenous 

 glands described below. First dorsal pore X/XI. 



Gizzard in Vili, IX; intestine beginning in XV, with one pair of cœca in 



XXVI, reaching segment XXI. The external 

 margins of the cœca are frizzled I- Thickened septa 

 V/VI— VII/VIII and X/XI— XIII/XIV, septa 

 VIII/IX — IX/X wanting. Spermathecae two pairs, 

 in VII, VIII, with diverticula (fig. 8 a). On the 

 inner side of the spermathecœ there are some 

 " capsulogenous glands " of inconstant position, usually three 

 on either side.f Sperm reservoirs in XI, XII. Ovisac pre- 

 sent. No prostate ' gland. Two capsulogenous glands near 

 each male pore, one in front of and the other behind it

 Length 150 mm., breadth 6 mm. ; number of segments 104.

§ A similar condition of the cœcum is found in P. digitata Ben. and P. bonthainensis Ben. both 

 from Celebes. 



t These so-called " capsulogenous glands " are probably of the fame nature as the " accessory 

 spermathecœ " which we have found in several of the species described by us in our first paper.
