DISTRIBUTION OF BRITISH ANNELIDS. 189 



what foreign and full of instruction. Twelve species, besides 

 aliens, so far recorded. 



7. Cheshire. — No records. 



8. Cornwall. — So far as I have been able to ascertain, there 

 were no records for this county previous to 1910. I am indebted 

 to Mr. A. C. Bartlett, formerly of Pencarrow, Washaway, for 

 very valuable help in my researches, and for the addition of what 

 is probably a new worm to our British Lists. 



February 11th, 1910, received from Mr. Bartlett (1) Lumbri- 

 cus terrestris, L. ; {^) Allolohophora longa, Ude ; (3) A. turgida, 

 Eisen ; (4) Aporrectodea chlorotica, Sav. ; (5) Eisenia rosea, 

 Sav. ; and (6) Octolasium cyaneum, Sav. 



February 21st, along with the foregoing (7) Eisenia foetida, 

 Sav. ; (8) Lumbricus rubellus, Hoffm. ; (9) L. castaneus, Sav. ; 

 (10) Dendrobcena subrubicunda, Eisen ; and (11) Eisenia veneta, 

 Eosa. I have named the variety of this polymorphic species 

 carnea, but have not yet published the description. 



April 29th, 1910, I received a further set of worms, which 

 included a new worm, which I provisionally record as (12) 

 Helodrilus elongatus, Friend, along with (13) H. ocidatus, Hoffm. 

 Unfortunately Mr. Bartlett was leaving Pencarrow at this time, 

 and I have been unable to get fresh material for my work. It may 

 be, therefore, that (12) Helodrilus will prove to be a Spargano- 

 philus, or allied form, and that what exactly resembles the imma- 

 ture II. ocidatus (13) will prove to be something else. An article 

 entitled " Worms in a Cornish Garden," published May 7th, 

 1910, in the ' Gardeners' Chronicle,' was based on the material 

 supplied me by my valued correspondent. Eleven species already 

 identified, with one or two still subjudice. 



9. Cumberland. — In 1890 I commenced the study of Annelids 

 by collecting around Carlisle. My earliest gleanings were sub- 

 mitted to Dr. Benham, and are recorded from his lists. The 

 first list contains (1) Lumbricus terrestris, L. ; (2) Allolobophora 

 longa, Ude; (3) Aporrectodea chlorotica, Sav. ; {i.) Eisenia foetida, 

 Sav.; (5) Allolobophora turgida, Eisen; (6) Allurus tetrcedrus, 

 Sav., the whole having been got near the Eden or at Monkhill. 

 In June of the same year I added (7) Lumbricus rubellus, Hoffm., 

 and (8) L. castaneus, Sav., by gleaning at Dalston, and (9) 

 Dendrobcena arborea, Eisen, was found in the decayed stump of
