The ganglion is unusually long and slender. The retrocerebral 
organ is limited to a small and apparently ductless sac at the 
posterior end of the ganglion; it is usually crowded with bac- 
teroids and opaque by transmitted light. The eye-spot is fairly 
large and at the posterior end of the ganglion. 
Total length 250-300//,; toes 14-1 6/a ; trophi 20//, long, 25/a wide. 
Lindia pallida is present wherever wet or partly submerged 
sphagnum is to be found; in such locations it may be collected 
at any time and any place. We have no information as to its 
presence outside of the United States, but there can be little doubt 
that it will prove just as common elsewhere. It does not, as far 
as known, occur in ponds. 
Cohn’s figure and description have been with some doubt re¬ 
ferred to this species, as they seem to agree better with it than 
with the French species, to which de Beauchamp has definitely 
limited the name torulosa.

The body is elongate, sprindle-shaped, and very slender, the 
greatest width being only one sixth of the total length of the 
body. The integument is soft and very flexible; it has a number 
of transverse folds, giving it an annulate appearance. It is mo¬ 
derately transparent. 
The head and neck segments are of nearly equal length and 
width, but slightly less than the greatest width of the body. The 
anterior transverse folds are not strongly marked. The abdomen 
is nearly cylindrical, tapering slightly and very gradually to the 
tail, which is three-lobed, with a small, rounded median lobe and 
two minute lateral lobes. The foot has two rather short, broad 
joints, continuing the general outline of the body without any 
marked constriction. The toes are short, conical, and slightly 
pinched to acute points; their length is about one twentieth of 
the total length. 
The dorsal and lateral antennae are small setigerous papillae 
in the normal positions. 
The corona extends down the ventral side about one fifth the 
length of the body; the post-oral portion forms an indistinct chin.
