REV. H. FRIEND ON SOME NORFOLK ANNELIDS. 
hope that some other collectors may be induced to seek for 
similar and other species in places which have not yet been 
explored. And here it will be of interest to give some details 
kindly supplied me by Mr. Mayfield, with such slight altera- 
tions as are necessary to bring the nomenclature up to date. 
The letter is dated August 22nd, 1892. 
“ I write for the purpose of giving you the few notes that 
I have dotted down during the last month. I also enclose 
two or three small worms from a fallen and decayed gate- 
post at Colney — L. terrestris, Linn. Common in gardens, 
Norwich. Hedge banks at Earlham — subsoil chalk. L. cas- 
taneus , Sav. Gardens, Norwich. Rubbish heap, Thorpe 
(gravel). Meadow by river, Earlham. In rotten tree stumps 
at Costessey, Colney and Stratton Strawless. L. rubellus, 
Hoffm. Meadow by river, Earlham. Near root of Alder tree 
in meadow, Colney. A. longa, Ude. Common, gardens, 
Norwich. River bank at Earlham ; meadow (on chalky soil) 
Colney. E. rosea , Sav. Under grass on river bank, Earlham 
(Alluvium over chalk). A. chlorotica, Sav. Rubbish heap at 
Thorpe (loam over gravel). River bank, Earlham (chalk

An interesting postscript — often the best part of a gentle- 
man’s as well as of a lady’s letter is found here. 
“ I re-open to put with the other worms a specimen from a 
stump at Stratton Strawless. I thought it was L. purpureus
