mouth as terminal, while in mine it recedes considerably from 

 it ; the setae lateral, instead of a single ventral row, and the 

 body flattened, instead of cylindric. Miiller's description, and 

 his figure does not agree with it, is " setis lateralibus nullis, 

 coUari triplici nigro." Mine is totally deficient in the latter 

 quality, but agrees with the former, though possibly in a differ-

 — Minute, hyaline, with porrectile setae, one series on each 

 side of the body, retractible at the will of the animal, within a 

 sheath, which can be distinguished, exterior to the intestinal 

 convolutions. Neither eyes nor mouth is apparent. The 

 rings are strongly marked anterior to the position of the 

 sexual organs, and from each of them proceed 2 lateral setae, 

 which are, at e, exhibited retracted : they were exserted at 

 each violent movement of the animal, or about once every 

 20 seconds, a Represents the animal of the natural size; 

 ^5 magnified; c, the anteal extremity; f/, the anal, with the 

 setae shot out. It was found among moss. The jLumbricus 

 minutus of Fabricius and Miiller is marine, else the description 

 answers tolerably.
