DISTRIBUTION OF BRITISH ANNELIDS. 373 



Dendrobcsna suhruhicunda, Eisen, and (8) D. arborea, Eisen, are 

 frequent. Here I place also (9) D. suhmontana, Yej., concerning 

 which I wrote fully in the ' Gardeners' Chronicle,' January 29th, 

 1910. A new species of Aporrectodea was also found in 1910 — 



(10) A. similis, Friend — and I see no reason why it should not 

 be frequently met with elsewhere. The type and varieties of 



(11) Eisenia veneta, Kosa, have often occurred ; also (12) E. 

 rosea, Sav. (= Allolobophora mucosa, Eisen) ; (13) Lumbricus cas- 

 taneus, Sav. ; and (14) Octolasium cyaneum, Oerley (= Allolobo- 

 phora studiosa, Eosa) ; and in September, 1909, I found (15) 

 Dendrobcena octoedra, Sav. (= boeckii, Eisen), which is one of 

 our rarest worms ; also (16) Allolobophora longa, Ude, and (17) 

 Bimastus constrictus, Eosa. Some well-known species will yet be 

 found, without doubt, when the survey is complete. Total, 17. 



24. Lancashire. — It is twenty years since I began my per- 

 sonal researches here. On June 5th, 1891, I recorded from the 

 neighbourhood of Golne (1) Lumbricus rubellus, Hoffm. ; (2) L. 

 castaneus, Sav. ; (3) L. terrestris, L. ; (4) Allolobophora trape- 

 zoides, Duges ; (5) Dendrobcena subrubicunda, Eisen ; (6) Eisenia 

 rosea, Sav. ; (7) Aporrectodea chlorotica, Sav, ; and (8) Allurus 

 tetrcedrus, Sav. On Easter Monday, April 18th, 1892;, I was at 

 Morecambe, and found all the foregoing, together with (9) Den- 

 drobcena mammalis, Sav. (= Allolobophora celtica, Eosa), and 

 (10) Allolobophora turgida, Eisen. Meanwhile, I had received 

 from Mr. Nuttall, of Eochdale (September 26th, 1891), (11) A, 

 longa, Ude, and Nos. 1, 3, 6, as given above. In 1899 I found 

 some of the foregoing at Stockport, and added a new Enchytrseid. 

 My later visits have been occupied chiefly with the estuarine 

 forms and Enchytrseids, which will be dealt with later. Mr. 

 Southern has recently added two or three interesting species to 

 this list. He records in the * Contributions ' (see Bibliography, 

 p. 184), Nos. 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, and adds (12) Dendrobcena 

 arborea, Eisen (= rubidus, Sav.) ; (13) Eisenia foetida, Sav. ; 

 and Octolasium cyaneum, Oerley. The phosphorescent worm 

 referred to by Johnston (' Catalogue,' p. 62) remains in doubt. 

 Total, 13. 



25. Leicestershire. — In June, 1892, I received from Mr. 

 Elliott, of Belgrave, Leicester, two batches of earthworms. They 

 were all of the ordinary species, numbering eight, as follows :
