List of land and freshwater animal species 123 



Oligochaeta, Lumbricidae — Earthworms 



Great interest in the zoogeography of OHgochaeta was shown by the late W. 

 Michaelsen {vide 1903) but only the terrestrial or amphibious members of the 

 Lumbricid family, the true earthworms, seem suited to our purpose. Valuable in- 

 formation has also been obtained from Smith (1917), Ude (1929), and Cernosvitov 

 & Evans (1947), as well as from a few additional papers listed in the bibliography 

 (p. 126 a.f.).
