VIII. — Abstract of some Investigations into the Structure of the 

 Oligochceta. By Frank E. Beddard, M.A., &c. 



Oligocliseta intermediate between the Limicolae and Terricolge 

 of ClaparMe. 



Claparede's division of the Oligocligeta into Oligochseta 

 Limicolse and Oligochfeta Terricolge (" Reclierches Anato- 

 miques sur les Oligoch^tes," Mem. Soc. Phjs. Geneve, t. xvi., 

 1862), though certainly expressing the knowledge of his 

 time when Lumhricus was the only terrestrial Annelid whose 

 anatomy was known, has been shown to be no longer tenable. 

 Many of the characters believed to be restricted to the 

 lyimicolge have been discovered in Earthworms. The only
