9. Helodrilus chloroticus Say. 
Collected at Culver, Lake Maxinkuckee, in moist soil at 
edge of lake. Greencastle, in moist clay soil in abandoned 
quarry hole. Crawfordsyvilie, in moist clay soil, banks 
of small stream. 
10. Helodrilus foetidus. Say. 
Collected at Kewanna and Culver. This is the common eyil 
smelling, barnyard or manure worm. Collected at Cul- 
ver in decaying straw near ice houses. At Kewanna this 
wort was found in large numbers, in moist soil along a 
stream just below the outlet of a sewer. The whole 
locality was quite offensive because of the sewage. 
11. Helodrilus caliginosus Say. 
Collected in Fulton, Marshall, Putnam, Madison and Vigo 
counties. This is perhaps our most cosmopolitan species. 
It is a Huropean species that has spread wherever Euro- 
peans have settled. Perhaps 90% of any random col- 
lection in the State would consist of this species. 
12. Helodrilus longus Ude. 
Collected at Greencastle, in woods. 
13. Helodrilus zeteki Smith and Gittins. (Mss.) 
Collected at Kewanna, Culver, Summitville. All of my 
specimens were collected in loose sandy loam under logs, 
and under the bark of logs. In June I took about thirty- 
five specimens of adult worms in a woods near Kewanna. 
At this time I obtained many cocoons of the species, the 
worms being in the height of sexual maturity. This species 
was described by one of Professor Smith’s students from 
specimens collected in a woods near Urbana, Ill. The 
description of the species is not yet in press. 
14. Octolasium lactewm Oerley. 
Collected at Crawfordsville, Culver, Greencastle, Summit- 
ville, Kewanna. My Crawfordsville specimens were sent 
me by GC. E. Allen, and were collected in the banks of 
Sugar Creek. This species is very common under logs 
and in moist soil everywhere I have collected. It is very 
widely distributed throughout the world. I have never 
found it in cultivated fields.
