 " The limits of the breeding season are unknown. 

 Although about 800 worms were collected . . . 

 between the first of June and the last of 

 August, only seldom were ripe eggs and ripe 

 spermatozoa obtained." Mead. Verrill re- 

 cords the taking of young in the tow in the 

 evening, but the month is not stated.
