ZOOLOGY OF THE FAR EAvST. 
The following is a classified list of genera and species represented in the 
collection : — 
HiRUDINIDAE. 
Whitmania laevis. Myxobddla annandalei, n. g., n. sp. 
Whi. edentula. 
Herpobdeludae. 
Herpohdella tesUicea. Scaptobdclla blanchai'di. 
Mimohdella japonica. 
Glossiphonid AE . 
Glossiphonia smaragdina. Hemiclepsis casmiana. 
Gl. lata. H. siamensis, n. sp. 
Placobdella rugosa. Ancyrobdella biwae, n. g., n. sp. 
Hemiclepsis marginata. 
ICHTHYOBDEI^LIDAE . 
Ozobra nchus jantsea mis . 
Fani. HIRUDINIDx^E. 
I. Whitmania laevis (Baird). 
Syn. Himdo laevis, Baird (1869). 
Leptostoma pigrum, Whitman (1886). 
Whitmania pigra, Blanchard (1887). 
Locality. Tong-Dong-Ding creek, Tai-Hu; Dec. 5th, 1915. Two specimens. 
Both examples are large and of nearly the same size, measuring about 120 mm. 
in length and 25 mm. in width. They slightly vary in details of marking, one being 
more profusely mottled with black on the ventral side than the other, which in turn 
is somewhat darker ventrally than most of the Japanese specimens ; otherwise they 
agree quite well with the original description of the species. 
2. Whitmania edentula (Whitman). 
Syn. Leptostoma edentulum, Whitman (1886). 
Locality. Si-Dong-Ding, Tai-Hu. Dec, 1915. One specimen. 
The single specimen is about 39 mm. long and 9 mm. wide, and shows most 
clearly the extremely attenuated shape of the head region characteristic of the 
species. It differs, however, from most of the Japanese specimens in that the lateral 
yellowish bands of the dorsal surface, of which there are two on each side, are nearly 
as distinct as the median one throughout the whole length of the body. In Japanese 
examples the former are mostly very faint except near the anterior and posterior 
extremities, so that at first sight the animal appears to have only the median band.
