quem humi applicant : ex quo cum iinpetu 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 transversi branchi per ambitum insunt, quibus totam corpus molem con- 

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

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

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

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

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