REV. H. FRIEND ON SOME NORFOLK ANNELIDS.

(= L. castaneus ) at first ; but it seems to have the girdle too 
much ahead for that species. - ’ It was fortunate, for it con- 
firmed my previous suspicions, and added definitely another 
species to our list, viz. : — 
1 2. Bimastus Eiseni, Lev. 
Mr. Mayfield’s desire to make the county list equal to that 
of other counties was now rapidly being realised. September 
3rd brought a new addition. “ You will find two specimens 
in a box which I took from my garden. I send them because 
they seem curious ; one on account of its colour, and the 
other because of the abnormal tail, similar to that of A. 
chlorotica which I sent before. All the other worms are from 
a heap of garden refuse (potato plants) at Earlham. I believe 
most of them are L. purpureus (— castaneus) and Dendrobcena 
arborea , but I send them hoping that you may find something 
else among them.” The latter proved to be a near ally of 
the true tree worm, viz. : — 
13. Dendrobcena subrubicunda , Eisen. 
“ I was glad to hear that my last contained D. subrubicunda ,” 
wrote my kind correspondent on September 9th, adding, “ I 
believe that makes thirteen Norfolk species that I have 
found. I hope soon to send another consignment.” On 
September 11th I got a post card as follows : — 
“ Have you observed that the yellow fluid of D . subrubicunda 
has an odour similar to that of Hedge Woundwort ( Stachys 
sylvatica ) ? Would you kindly tell me in what kind of locality 
I am most likely to find L. rubescens , Friend ; as I should 
very much like to add Norfolk to its known list of habitats.” 
This worm had been recently described by me as new to 
science. Later research, however, showed that it had been 
imperfectly described before by Savigny as Enterion festivum, 
and then lost to view. My reply drew from Mr. Mayfield on 
the 17th an interesting letter, reporting the addition of this 
worm, together with a variety of Allurus which is worthy of 
record.
