Dendrobaena octoedra, Savigny. First recorded for Kew, 
September 16th, 1909. Herbaceous ground. Coll. M. Free. 
*Risenia foetida, Savigny (=Allolobophora foetida, Eisen, of 
former list). 
Hisenia rosea, Savigny. Though a native of Britain it has also 
been received from the Chatham Islands, September 2nd, 1909. 
Propagating pits. Coll. H. Green. 
Hisenia veneta, Rosa. Though we have several well marked 
varieties of this interesting annelid, the type was not known in 
England till I received it from Kew, on September 3rd, 1909. 
Herbaceous ground. Coll. M. Free. (See Gardeners’ Chronicle, 
October 9, 1909, p. 243, fig. 108.) 
Octolasion studiosum, Rosa (known as Allolobophora studiosa, and 
A. profuga). One specimen received from Kew in February, 1910, 
which differed greatly from the type in colour when living, but not 
distinguishable from it in alcohol. Propagating pits. Coll. J. Lam- 
bourne. 
Dendrobaena submontana, Vejdovsky. This was first received in 
September, 1909, at which time it was not perfectly adult. 1 pub- 
lished a description in the Gardeners’ Chronicle of January 29th, 
1910; but shortly afterwards was favoured with another consign- 
ment which contained an adult specimen. This shewed the 
tubercula pubertatis clearly on segments 28 to 30; a point of great 
interest because it definitely proves the species to be quite distinct 
from Eisenia veneia, Rosa, which it greatly resembles outwardly. 
In E. veneta the tubercula are on 30 and 31, and there are internal 
differences as well. Sce illustration in Gardeners’ Chronicle, 
January 29th, 1910, p. 74, fig. 42. Propagating pits. Coll. 
H. E. Downer. . 
An addition of at least a dozen new species in less than a year is 
not a mean record, and says much for the enthusiasm and careful 
observation of the young gardeners, to whose services I am so 
greatly indebted,
