(abstract)

The present paper refers to a number of specimens of Moniligaster, some of which belong to the species Moniligaster Barwelli already briefly described by myself;* others (one other at least) are possibly referable to a distinct species. I do not, however, give this species a name, principally for the reason that it will very possibly turn out to be identical with one or other of the species recently noted by Professor A. G. Bourne from the Nilgiris and Shevaroys. I am not at all certain that M. Barwelli is not identical with his M. minutus. The present paper contains a fuller account of the reproductive organs than I have yet given, but unfortunately it will be still found to be incomplete in certain particulars; some of these gaps, e.g., the clitellum and the egg-sacs, are filled up by Bourne's paper, assuming of course that the characters of these organs as given by Bourne will turn out to be generic, which is likely. The present paper contains some account of the other organs of the body, which has not yet been published
