remarkable in having the last four or five segments very much 
smaller than those immediately before, giving the tail a very 
curious, stunted appearance. 
10. A. fcetida, Savigny. The Trundling. Girdle on segments 
27 — 32. Striped alternately with hands of yellow and brown. 
Exudes a yellow, fetid fluid. Found in manure heap and decayed 
garden refuse. Earlham, Thorpe, Hellesdon. 
11. Dendkob.kna arborea, Eisen. The Tree Worm. Girdle 
on segments 27 — 31. Colour, pink before the girdle and on the 
tail, other part greyish- white. Length, 1.1 inches. This little 
worm inhabits rotten tree-stumps. Nearly every bit of rotten and 
damp wood that I have examined has produced at least two or 
three specimens. Earlham, Costessey, Lakenham, Caistor, etc. 
12. 1). subrubicunda, Eisen. The Gilt-tail. Girdle on 
segments 2(> 32. Colour, similar to the last species. Length, 
2 inches. It exudes a yellow fluid, having an odour similar to that 
of Hedge Woundwort. Among dead leaves at Costessey ; in 
decayed garden refuse at Norwich and Earlham. 
13. 1). eisen i, Levinsen. Eisen’s Worm. Girdle on segments 
24 — 32. Colour, reddish-brown, iridescent. Length, 1 .1 inches. 
This worm resembles a Luminous in appearance. I took one 
specimen from a tree-stump at Stratton Strawless, and several from 
dead leaves at Costessey. 
14. Allurus tetraedus, Savigny. The Square-tail. Girdle 
upon segments 22 — 2G. Colour, dark brown. This is a very 
active little worm, about 1 or 11 inches long, inhabiting very damp 
places. Common. A yellow variety, car. h/teus, is about as 
plentiful as the type at Old Lakenham.
