•A. I/UK A : OBSERVATIONS ON THE 



Table II. 



1897. 



The watch for the swarming was kept on several other days 

 than on those mentioned in the above tables, but with negative 

 results ; so it may be confidently stated that no other swarms 

 occured in the years 1896 and 1897. In both these years, from 

 July to October I examined every week the atocous worms, freshly 

 dug out of the mud. By the immature condition they presented 

 it could be foretold that the swarming was not close at hand.
