Fridericia alba Moore is a third species new to Great 
- Britain found in the same locality, and first described by Moore 
with the two foregoing. It has from 55 to 60 segments, and is 
about % in. in length. The sete resemble those of F. agricola 
in number and disposition, but the spermathecw are closely 
allied to those of # parva. The salivary glands are sometimes, 
if not always, branched. he pain is eae oblong, and 
slightly emarginate behind 
Fridericia bulbosa (Rosa) was found at the same time and 
very carefully studied with various reagents and living material. 
There can be no doubt about the identity. I have compared 
my notes with Rosa’s original memoir, as well as Beddard’s 
résumé (‘ Monograph of Oligocheta,’ p. 343). The main 
_ feature is the spermatheca: without diverticula, and ducts twice 
as long as pouch with glands at the base. Hitherto reported 
for Germany and Italy only. I have examined specimens from 
Rugby as well as Carlisle. 
Fridericia striata (Levinsen), already reported to ‘The 
Naturalist,’ may now be recorded for other localities. Clifton 
ark, Cumberland, and Broughton, two miles from Cocker- 
mouth, are also its habitats. 
It would greatly aid me in these researches if collectors 
would send me any small worms they may meet with when 
collecting. Particulars as to habitat, date, proximity to water, 
and whatever else may occur to the collector are invaluable.
