Extract

Some time since I received from Mr W. Smith of Ashburton, New Zealand, a single example of a worm belonging to the little known genus Phreoryctes, and published in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History for June 1888, a short account of the reproductive organs of this worm, for which I proposed the name of Phreoryctes Smithii.

More recently (November 1888) I have received, through the kindness of the same gentleman, a large number of specimens of the same species; the study of these enables me to offer to this Society a more complete account of the structure of Phreoryctes, which is at present very imperfectly known. It will be seen, however, that the present paper, though more extended, and dealing with organs to which little or no reference was made in my former paper, contains no important correction of facts stated in that paper. I have also appended (p. 638) a discussion of the systematic position and affinities of Phreoryctes.
