THE ZOOLOGIST. 



47. L. festivus, Sav. (= rubeseens, Friend). — Near fir planta- 

 tion between Brightling and Dallington, March, 1892. (2), p. 123. 

 Not common in Sussex.

 monceaux, and elsewhere. 



In addition to the foregoing, I have to record the occurrence 

 of a small tender worm at Ecclesbourne. It was found in July, 

 1912, but died before I could examine it alive. A second collection 

 was made and preserved. No single example was adult, but it 

 seemed undoubtedly to belong to the genus Allurus. Pending 

 an opportunity of seeking for it again, I have named it Allurus 

 mollis. 



When we remember that a county like Nottingham, without 

 a seaboard or estuary, and with hardly any hills, already records 

 nearly a hundred Annelids, we cannot repress the suspicion that 

 many new species await discovery in Sussex ; and if two hours' 

 work could in December, 1911, yield such rich results, what 

 might we not expect if a steady and systematic search were 

 carried out ? I shall be glad of any assistance in this most 

 important branch of research. Gleaning should be placed in 

 tin boxes and addressed Pocklington, York.
