VEEMES. 



Malformed Earth- 

 worm. — I had brought 

 rue (Sept. 4th), from 

 the village of Upton, 

 near Yarmouth, a most 

 remarkable Lobworm, 

 from the middle of 

 which branched two 

 separate tails. From 

 the tip of the head to 

 that of the longest tail 

 is about six inches, to 

 that of the other about 

 five and a half. Amongst 

 tbe many myriads of 

 worms I have seen, I 

 never saw a malforma- 

 tion of this kind ; the 

 only other instance of 

 which I have heard is 

 one figured in the 

 ' Strand Magazine ' of 

 September, 1900, which 

 was discovered at Nor- 

 wood. — Arthur H. Pat-
