DISTRIBUTION OF BRITISH ANNELIDS. 371 



(17) Helodrilus oculatus, Hoffm., last Easter in a ditch near 

 Eastnor — an interesting record ; while (18) Eisenia veneta, Eosa 

 (= Allolohophora hibernica, Friend), has at West Malvern yielded 

 two very sharply defined varieties, which I have named respec- 

 tively rohusta and dendroidea (see 'Gardeners' Chronicle,' October 

 9th, 1909). The county record stands at total 18. 



18. Hertfordshire. — I am chiefly indebted to the Eev. 

 Theodore Wood for my knowledge of the Annelids of this county, 

 and published an account of eight species so long ago as Decem- 

 ber, 1891, in the * Field Club.' They were collected at Baldock, 

 and in the following year the list rose to a total of fifteen species, 

 as follows : (1) Lumhricus terrestris, L. ; (2) L. rubellus, Hoffm. ; 

 (3) L. castaneus, Sav. {= purpuj^eus, Eisen) ; (4) AUolobophora 

 longa, Ude ; (5) A. turgida, Eisen; (6) A. trapezoides, Duges 

 (these two being forms of A. caliginosa, Sav.) ; (7) Octolasium 

 lacteum, Oerley (= A. profuga, Eosa) ; (8) Bimastus eiseni, Lev. ; 

 (9) Eisenia foetida, Sav., or the Brandling, and (10) E. rosea, 

 Sav. (= A. mucosa, Eisen) ; (11) Aporrectodea chlorotica, Sav., 

 and (12) A. cambrica. Friend ; (13) Dendrobcena subrubicunda, 

 Eisen, and (14) D. arborea, Eisen ; with (15) Allurus tetrcedrus, 

 Sav. One of the specimens of Allurus had the male pores on 

 the twelfth instead of the thirteenth segment. 



19. Huntingdonshire. — Nothing known. 



20. Isle op Man. — We owe our knowledge of the Manx 

 Annelids to Mr. Southern, B.Sc, and those interested in the 

 subject should consult his *' Contributions towards a Monograph 

 of the British and Irish Oligochseta " in Proc. Eoyal Irish Acad, 

 xxvii.. Section b. No. 8 (1909). In addition to several Enchy- 

 trseids, which will be recorded later, we find : (1) Lumbricus 

 rubellus, Hoffm. ; (2) L. castaneus, Sav. ; (3) Allurus {=:Eiseniella) 

 tetrcedrus, Sav. ; (4) Aporrectodea {AUolobophora) chlorotica, 

 Sav. ; (5) Dendrobcena subrubicunda, Eisen ; (6) D. arborea, 

 Eisen ; (7) Bimastus eiseni. Lev. ; (8) B. constrictus, Eosa ; and 

 (9) Octolasium lacteum, Oerley (= A. profuga, Eosa). 



21. Isle of Wight. — No records to hand. 



22. Kent. — I wrote on the Earthworms of Kent some years 

 ago in the 'Field Club,' recording six species received from 

 " Abbey Wood, Kent, in light sandy soil," through the kindness 

 of the editor, Eev. Theodore Wood. I give the corrected list in
