112 MR. H. CHARLTON BASTIAN’S MONOGRAPH 
Hab. In fæcibus aceti (Borellus, Müller, &e.) ; in aceto communi cerevisiæ et vini, 
in aqua cum farina, in aqua cocta, et in fæcibus cerevisiæ, Moscoviæ (Czernay) ; in aceto 
e pomis parato, frequenter Philadelphiæ (Leidy)." 
* Nota 1. Larvas muscæ cujusdam (Mosilli cellarii ?) in aceto obvias cum hae Specie 
confundit Spallanzani (Microsc. Beobacht. 176). 
* Nota 2. Probabiliter e Mosilli cellarii intestinis in acetum translata."— Diesing, 
If the drawings are accurate (Pop. Se. Kev. Jan. 1863) of the animal discovered, by 
Mr. Jabez Hogg, about portions of the common truffle left for some days moistened with 
vinegar, I am rather inclined to believe that this will prove to be a distinct species, and 
not the real A. aceti, since it differs in several respects, more especially as regards 
the male spicules, from the animals examined by myself, concerning which there can be 
little doubt, seeing that they swarm in a specimen of pure vinegar, kindly sent to me by 
M. Davaine.

“ Corps filiforme, assez épais, long de 17-68; vingt fois environ aussi long que large, 
amincie en arrière et terminé par une pointe fine allongée; vulve située au tiers posté- 
rieur; œufs grands (de Omm-09) à coque membraneuse et contenant un embryon replié.”

“ Hab. In glutine farinæ (Baker, Müller, &e.); in glutine tritiei, secalis, tragacanthi, 
etc., frequenter Philadelphiæ ( Leidy)."— Diesing. 
In the paper before alluded to, Mr. Hogg seems to doubt the fact of any specific differ- 
ence existing between this form and Anguillula aceti; but, from the descriptions of 
Dujardin, there appears to be a great discrepancy in the comparative dimensions of the 
two. Thus, speaking of Anguillula aceti, he reports it as, “ trente à quarante-cinq fois 
aussi long que large,” and so making the body much narrower than in A. glutinis. M. Da- 
vaine believes them to be distinct species, and says, in a letter lately received, “ D'après 
quelques recherches que j'ai faites, il y a quelques années, je pense que les vers de h 
colle de pâte viennent de la terre, où elles vivent normalement dans les grains ou dans 
les racines qui contiennent de la fécule.” 
All my attempts to procure these animals in ordinary wheaten paste have been unsuc 
cessful, though I have taken every precaution to ensure the purity of the flour.
