ME. H. N. MOSELEY ON THE ANATOMY AND 
the extraordinary cheese-knife-shaped anterior extremity or head. The following is 
Stimpson’s diagnosis of the genus with the slight alteration concerning the eyes : — Corpus 
lineare, depressiusculum ; caput discretum lunatum transversum, auriculis longis retror- 
sum tendentibus. Ocelli numerosi, minuti, in capite plerumque in ejus marginibus, et 
etiam nonnunquam in corpore usque ad extremitatem posteriorem sparsim dispositi. 
Os centrale vel postcentrale. Apertura genitalis inter os et extremitatem posteriorem, 
ssepius ad dimidiam distantiam. 
The first to describe a species of this genus was Dr. Gray, of the British Museum, 
who in 1835 named a Bipalium from Bengal Planaria lunata. Cantor next (in 1835) 
evidently speaks of a Bipalium as occurring in China, but he does not name the animal. 
The Rev. W. Houghton, M.A., F.L.S. ( loc . cit.), describes and figures two Land-Plana- 
rians from Borneo, the shapes of the heads of which evidently show them to belong to 
the genus Bipalium. As he gives no name to them, I propose to call No. 1 Bipalium 
Everetti , after Mr. Alfred Everett, who discovered them in Borneo, and the other B. 
Houghtoni. 
The following is as perfect a list as I have been able to form of the species of Bipalium 
at present known to exist : —
