quern hurni applicant : ex quo cum impetu spongiosum quidpiam egerit, quod 

 evomuisse videtur : paulatimque in arenam subingressus, iterum in corpus regerit, 

 quoad se totum arena contexerit, quod idem terrestri lumbrico accidere solet. 

 Utrisque transveisi brancbi per ambitum insunt, quibus totara corpus molein con- 

 trabunt atque extendunt, ut ex pedali longitudine brevissimi, et fere orbiculares 

 evadant. Verum marinus lumbricus teres est, pedem longus, digitum ciassus, 

 viscosus admodum, croceum colorem fundens, quo naves inficiuntur, qui etiani 

 triduum perdurat. Villos in articulationibus pro pinnis babet : arena et limo 

 vescitur." — Bellonius. * From arena, sand, and colOf to dwell in.
