TWO NEW SPECIES OF PHERETIMA. 
Setae very tender and numerous. I did not succeed in 
counting the setae of one segment. Their number may be 
nearly one hundred. The rows of setae are not interrupted 
ventrally, but irregularly interrupted for a small space 
dorsally. Dorsally the distances between two neighbouring 
setae are increasing distinctly. 
First dorsal pore at the intersegmental furrow 9-10. 
Clitellum ring-shaped, but ventrally somewhat less 
distinct, constantly occupying the hinder third part of the 
thirteenth segment together with the whole fourteenth, 
fifteenth, and sixteenth segments (=3^). 
Male pores on the eighteenth segment on rather small 
circular porophors, distant from one another about §—| of 
the whole circumference of the body. 
Female pore unpaired, marked by a circular white spot, 
median ventrally upon the fore half of the fourteenth 
segment. 
Spermathecal pores, three pairs upon the intersegmental 
furrows 4-5, 5-6, and 6-7. The two partners of one pair 
are distant from one another about one-third of the whole 
circumference of the body. The spermatal pores of the 
first pair are less distinct; those of the third pair are 
more distinct than those of the middle pair. 
Accessory copulatory organs in general two pairs. Just 
before and behind each male pore, i.e., at the fore part and 
at the hinder part of the eighteenth segment, but very little 
dislocated towards the median ventral line, there is seen a 
centrally depressed, sucker-like roundish papilla of about 
the same size as the male porophor. These papillae are 
pushing back a little the frontiers of the eighteenth segment. 
In one specimen I found at the right side a supernumerary 
papilla of the same form just lateral from the normal one, 
and a little more lateral than the male porophor. 
Internal Anatomy. — Septa all very tender, not one 
thickened, some before the ninth segment apparently 
failing. 
Alimentary Tract: A moderately large longitudinal 
muscular gizzard before the first distinguishable septum, 
viz., in the ninth or eighth segment, if not occupying both 
of them. Intestine without caeca. 
Circulatory System: Dorsal vessel simple. Last heart 
in the thirteenth segment. 
Excretory system micronephrical. 
Anterior Male Organs : Two pairs of sperm duct funnels 
in the tenth and eleventh segment, each enclosed in a
