. Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College. Zoology. 468 bulletin: museum of comparative zoology branches — a little distance to the side of where they spring from the median tube and rather far from the free ends of the branches — a closed female funnel is attached to each side. This funnel (fa), with a partly wide and partly narrow lumen, describes a double loop in its narrower part, bears a stout kidney-shaped, short-stemmed egg-sac at its upper side. Medially it is continued into a narrow, moderately long, connecting tube, which, becoming even more slender, enters the branch of the spermatheca near the point of its origin from the median spermathecal tube. The lateral pole of the female funnel is continued into a slender female duct; at the point of junction a pyriform sperm chamber discharges through a normal lumen which is closely draped by the dark-coloured, anterior ends of spermatozoa. This sperm chamber is almost wholly embedded in the stout wall of the female funnel, projecting but slightly over the outer surface of the funnel. Remarks. P. askororum is closely related to P. violaceus Beddard (1894, p. 230) and Michaelsen (1897, p. 51), P. malindinus sp. n. described above, and P. bagiloanus sp. n. following. For further com- ments see Remarks under this last species. POLYTOREUTUS BAGILOANUS Sp. nOV. Two well preserved, adult specimens, from Bagilo (about 6°50' south lat., 37°50' east long.), 6,000 feet, Uluguru Mountains, Tanganyika Territory. External Characters. Length 50 and 60 mm., diameter about 2 mm., segments about 72 to 82. Colour whitish, apparently not Fig. 17. Polytoreutus bagiloanus. Dorsal view of the head. Head (fig. 17) tanylobous, if not prolobous; prostomium calotte- shaped; segment I is crossed by some longitudinal furrows, of these two, one on either side of the medio-dorsal line, appear to be somewhat sharper than the others, forming lateral borders of a dorsal appendage of the pros
