county as complete as possible. The three species of Lumhricus 

 were early in the field : (1) L. terrestris, L. ; (2) L. ruhellus, 

 Hoffm. ; and (3) L. castaneus, Sav. ; also (4) Allolohophora longa, 

 Ude ; (5) Dendrohcena suhruhicunda, Eisen ; (6) Aporrectodea 

 chlorotica, Sav., and (7) Bimastus eiseni, Levinsen ; (8) Dendro- 

 hcena mmnmalis, Sav. {= A. celtica, Eosa) was in good form. I 

 received the same worm also from Avonmouth through my 

 friend Mr. Huddart, who also added (May 24th, 1892) two new 

 species to the list. The first (9) Lumhricus festivus, Sav. (= L. 

 ruhescetis, Friend), had never before been received from any corre- 

 spondent, all the specimens I had seen having been collected by 

 myself. The second was (10) Octolas'mm lacteum, Oerley (= A. 

 pj'ofiiga, Eosa). The two forms of caliginosa (11) Allolohophora 

 turgida, Eisen, and (12) A. trapezoides, Duges, also occur, and 

 (13) Eisenia rosea, Sav. The list closes with (14) Allurus tetrce- 

 drus, Sav. Total, 14. 



16. Hampshire. — This county, rendered famous by White's 

 * Natural History,' is still sadly neglected so far as the earth- 

 worms are concerned. We have so far not a single trustworthy 

 record. 



17. Hereford. — During the past three years I have been 

 able personally to work a portion of this county with good 

 results. My visits have chiefly been to the district between 

 Malvern and Ledbury, including Colwall, Bosbury, and Eastnor. 

 The four species of Lumhricus all occur, viz. (1) L. terrestris, L. ; 

 CH) L. festivus, Sav. {= L. ruhescens, Friend); (3) L. ruhellus, 

 Hoffm.; and (4) L. castaneus, Sav.; also (5) Allolohoijhora longa, 

 Ude, and (6) A. caliginosa forma turgida, Eisen, as well as (7) forma 

 trapezoides, Duges. (8) Octolasiwn lacteum, Oerley (= A.profuga, 

 Eosa), is of frequent occurrence in the gardens, as well as its 

 related form (9) 0. cyaneum, Sav. {= Allolohophora studiosa, Eosa). 

 The Brandling (10) Eisenia foetida, Sav., and (11) E. rosea, 

 Sav., are very plentiful. (12) Aporrectodea chlorotica, Sav., occurs 

 everywhere, and the watercourses can hardly be searched in vain 

 for (13) Allwus tetrccdrus, Sav. (14) Dendrohcena suhruhicunda, 

 Eisen, and its small ally, the true Treeworm (15) D. arhorea, 

 Eisen, may be found in dead stumps and old leaf-mould. (16) 

 Bimastus eiseni, Levinsen, occurs in the same situations at West 

 Malvern. Two other worms remain to be mentioned. I found
