In continuation of my list of Pa liworns printed on p. 13, I venture 
to submit a brief notice of some other representatives of the lowly 
animal life of Cumberland and Yorkshire. As the lists are only 
intended as contributions to the subject, I have not attempted to 
classify the species enumerated. 
e Solway we find large quantities of Lob-worms (Arenicola 
piscatorum Cuvier), which the fishermen employ as bait for marine fish. 
ign Lumbricus pillows Miiller (‘ Fabric., Faun. Gronl.,’ p. 283; 
‘Ann, des. Sc. Nat.” xxx, p. 420, pl. Sei, Gg: 8-12; ‘ Reise in den 
Sibiriens, ii, pt. 1, p. 17). Zumébricus marinus Belon (‘ Linn, Miill., 
Zool. Dan.,’ iv, p. 39; Grube, ‘ Fam. der Ann.,’ 76). 
The White-worm (Nephthys longisetosa CErsted) of the fishermen 
is also fairly common, but is -sialene rejected as unfit for bait 
. Grube, ‘Fam. der Ann.,’ p. 53; C£rsted, ‘Gronl. Ann. Dors.,’ 
43, tab. vi, fig. 75-6 ; Johnston’s ‘Cat. of Br. Worms,’ 172). 
I found one specimen of another species during 18go, but it 
has been put aside during my removal. 
Several members of the fsck family occur in the North of 
. England, of which I have collected the following :— 
(1) Mephelts octoculata \.., under stones in Monkhill Loch, near 
Carlisle, May 1890; a curious creature, with its eggs and embryos 
attached to the ventral surface; synonymy given in Grube, ‘ Fam. 
der Ann.,’ p. 110. 
(2) Geant sexoculata Mog. Tand., and 
(3) Clepsine bioculata Miiller. The synonyms are very numerous, 
and are fully given by Grube, loc. cit., and more recently 
Vejdovsky, ‘System und Morphologie der Oligocheten.’ Found in 
the same locality, where also one or two species of ZLumbriculus 
abound, and some species of Enchytreus. These I am now 
engaged upon. 
I have been able to work out the doubtful Zamdricus multispinus 
Grube, but as the story is too long for these pages, it will be published 
elsewhere. As I have some other Enchytreide to enumerate in 
a future contribution, I shall withhold the modern synonymy, and 
merely state that Grube’s worm is the same as Duges’ Zubifex 
pallidus (‘ Ann. des Sc. Nat., viii, 32), and Miiller’s ZLuméricus ver- 
micularis (Jobnston’s ‘ Catloas of British Worms,’ p. 63 ; Grube,
