 A glance of this list will at once indicate tlie tropical fades of the 

 crustacean fa\ina of Lord Howe Island. 



Annelida.— The state of our knowledge at the present time, even of Aus- 

 tralian worms, quite forbids our instituting any comparison with those of 

 extra Australian localities. The earth worms of Lord Howe, of which wo 

 obtained numerous examples, resemble in general appearance those of this 

 continent. Several ciliated marine worms were also found under loose stones 

 on the Coral-reef. The Hirudinea are possibly avoII represented, the shady 

 dark pools of the Deep Creek being admirably suited for their propagation. 

 Land leeches occur, one form being found at the top of Mount G-ower, and. 

 another in the gardens in the lower parts of the island. Two species of 

 Sipunculus were found attached to stones on the Coral-reef ; but the most 

 interesting of all are the Planarian worms, of which there are large 

 numbers. At least five or six species were obtained, both from rotten logs, 

 from under bark lying on the ground, and from those parts of the palm stem 

 where protected by the leaf-sheaths. In all probability the species are quite 

 undescribed, and as they are all two-eyed, may for the present be placed in 

 the nenus lilimchodemu,?. , ^, , . ,
