Cailliaud in his ‘ Catalogue des Radiaires, des Ann^lides &c. recueillis 
dans le d«?partement de la Loire-Inf«?rieure,’ Paris, 1866, mentions nothing 
but extremely common forms, many of them, we should fancy from the list,

forms of iVnnelids met with on the coasts of Rochelle.

systems. The author would seem to regard the setee as secre- 
tions of the so-called setigerous glands ; hut may they not be

its way to the last ring. Connected with the pharynx are three 
convoluted bodies, regarded as salivary organs ; and attached
