Extract

The present paper contains a description of five apparently new species of Lumbricidæ from Australia and New Zealand, one of these species being perhaps the type of a new genus, which I have named Neodrilus; the remaining species are Acanthodrilus neglectus, from New Zealand, Perichæta newcombei, Urochæta, sp. ?, from Australia, and P. upoluensis, from one of the Pacific islands. I have endeavoured to make these descriptions as full as the material, in many cases in an excellent state of preservation, has enabled me to do. I have also incorporated into this paper some few notes on Perichæta antaretica, Baird, a species which has not yet been sufficiently discriminated.
