Nephridia of the somites anterior to clitellum much larger than those in the posterior somites. But the ducts leading to the pores of these anterior nephridia are much shorter than the ducts of the posterior nephridia. In the latter the duct is twice or three times as long as in the anterior ones. MESENCHYTR^US HARRIMANI sp. nov. pi. I, figs. 1-6; pi. II, figs. 1-7; and text-figs. 4-6. Dcjinition. — Length
