DISTRIBUTION OF BRITISH ANNELIDS. 187 



of Brackley, on the borders of Northants, Oxford, and Bucks, 

 collected a series of worms for me on the Buckingham border. 

 It contained (1) Lumhricus terrestris, L. ; (2) L. castaneus, Sav. ; 

 (3) Allolohophora longa, Ude ; (4) Aporrectodea chlorotica, Sav. ; 

 (5) Allolohophora caliginosa, Sav, (form turgida, Eisen) ; (6) 

 Eisenia fcetida, Sav., known as the Brandling ; (7) DendrohcBna 

 subruhicimda, Eisen ; (8) Allurus tetrcedrus, Sav., and possibly an 

 immature specimen of Bimastus eiseni, Levinsen. 



July 26th, 1901 : Mr. Mark Webb (now editor of * Know- 

 ledge ') sent me 2, 5, 6, and 7 from Langley St. Mary's ; (9) 

 Lumhricus ruhellus, Hoffm. ; (10) Eisenia rosea, Savigny, to- 

 gether with Aporrectodea chlorotica, from Burnham Beeches ; and 

 (11) Bendrohcena mammalis, from Langley and Eton. I have 

 the latter also from High Wycombe and Cressicks, where I have 

 also personally collected all the foregoing. Total, 11. 



4. Cambridgeshire. — In 'Life Lore,' vol. i. p. 68, I find (1) 

 Allurus tetradrus, Sav., reported for Cambridge. My own re- 

 searches were limited to the Botanic Gardens, Sept. 27th, 1905. 

 (2) Lumhricus terrestris, L. ; (3) L. ruhellus, Hoffm. ; (4) L. cas- 

 taneus, Sav. ; (5) Allolohophora caliginosa, Sav. (form turgida pre- 

 vails) ; (6) Eophila icterica, Sav., was recorded, I believe, for the 

 first time for Britain ; (7) Allolohophora longa, Ude ; (8) Eisenia 

 foetida, Sav. ; (9) E. rosea, Sav. ; (10) Aporrectodea chlorotica, 

 Sav.; (11) A. camhriea, Fiiend; and (12) Dendrohcena suhruhi- 

 cunda, Eisen, were also found, and reported in the * Gardeners' 

 Chronicle ' later on. I added shortly after : (13) Octolasium 

 cyaneum, Sav. (= Allolohophora studiosa, Eosa) ; (14) A. tra- 

 pezoides, Duges (typical form) ; confirmed the record for Allurus 

 tetrcedrus ; and on July 26th, 1907, had the pleasure of placing 

 (15) Allolohophora hermanni, Michaelsen, on the British List 

 (see ' Eeport of the Botanic Garden Syndicate,' June 6th, 1908). 

 Oerley records the finding of another worm at Cambridge, known 

 as Allolohophora platyura, and by many other synonyms (Eosa, 

 ' Eevisione de Lumbricidi,' p. 43) ; but so far I have failed to 

 identify it. Sept. 30th, 1909, 1 examined a further supply, kindly 

 sent by Mr. Lynch, and found (16) Dendrohcena arhorea, Eisen, 

 besides confirming several of the foregoing species. Total, 16. 



5. Channel Islands. — On June 18th, 1892, I received from 

 my sister. Nurse Hetty Friend, a consignment of earthworms
