A batch of worms sent me by Mr. Trumbull, L.R.C.S., from 
Malahide, Dublin, in November contained a worm which I took 
at first to be the same as the foregoing. I now find it to be a new 
species of A//urus, possessed of a very long tail. I have named it 
A. macrurus, and am giving a description in a forthcoming issue of 
the ‘Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy.’ A new form of 
tree-worm from the same locality. must at present be referred to the 
Celtic worm, Al/lolobophora celtica Rosa, var. rosea Friend. For fuller 
details the reader is referred to this month’s ‘ Essex Naturalist.’
