9. Ilelodrilus chloroticus Sav. 



Collected at Culver, Lake Maxinkuckee, in moist soil at 

 edge of lake. Greencastle, in moist clay soil in abandoned 

 quarry bole. Crawfordsville, in moist clay soil, banks 

 of small stream. 



10. ilelodrilus foetidus Sav. 



Collected at Kewanna and Culver. Tbis is tbe common evil 

 smelling, barnyard or manure worm. Collected at Cul- 

 ver in decaying straw near ice bouses. At Kewanna tbis 

 worm was found in large numbers, in moist soil along a 

 stream just below tbe outlet of a sewer. Tbe wbole 

 locality was quite offensive because of tbe sewage. 



11. Helodrilus caliginosus Sav. 



Collected in Fulton, Marshall, Putnam, Madison and Vigo 

 counties. Tbis is perhaps our most cosmopolitan species. 

 It is a European 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 zetelci Smith and Gittins. (Mss.) 



Collected at Kewanna, Culver, Summitville. All of my 

 specimens were collected in loose sandy loam under logs, 

 and under tbe 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. Tbis species 

 was described by one of Professor Smith's students from 

 specimens collected in a woods near Urbana, 111. The 

 description of the species is not yet in press. 



14. Octolasium lacteum Oerley. 



Collected at Crawfordsville, Culver, Greencastle, Summit- 

 ville, Kewanna. My Crawfordsville specimens were sent 

 me by C. E. Allen, and were collected in tbe 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.
