SYSTEMATIC PAET. 



The list of synonyms and references given under each species usually 

 refers to British records only. For the full synonymy, reference must be 

 made to Michaelsen (Tierreich, Oligoch^eta). The literature of the British 

 forms is given in Beddard's " Monograph," and usually only papers published 

 since the issue of that work are given in the Bibliography. 



Under the head of " Habitat" is given a list of all the places in the 

 British Isles from which I have examined specimens; whilst under 

 "Distribution" is given the general range of the species. 



With the exception of the earthworms, all the species were studied alive 

 and nearly all the drawings were made from living specimens. 



The month during which specimens were taken is given before the habitat. 

 The specimens were sexually mature, unless denoted by the sign (im.).
