Habits. — " It feeds upon earth-worms, having the power of elon- 

 gating its body to such a degree that it is able to follow them in all 

 their subterranean windings. We have observed them attentively, 

 and were rather surprised that an animal generally so extremely slug- 

 gish in its motions, after discovering its prey by means of its tenta- 

 cula, thrusting from its large mouth its white crenulated revolute 

 tongue, should instantly seize upon, with extraordinary rapidity, and 

 firmly retain an earth-worm of much greater size and apparent force 

 than itself, but which by its utmost exertion is unable }o escape." — 

 Pen. Cyclop, xxiv. 246.
