Subclass OL 
Family NaiidaS. 
Paranais littoralis (Oersted). 
Moore, 1905a, p. 376. (Listed by Verrill and 
Smith, 1873, as Enckytrceus triventralopectinatus , 
and recorded for New Haven, on authority of 
Minor). 
Vineyard Sound and vicinity. “More than any 
other species it withstands a wide range of 
density in the water, being almost equally at 
home in the rain-soaked eelgrass above high 
tide, on the shores of brackish ponds, and 
under stones near low-water mark on the 
exposed shores of Vineyard Sound.” — Moore. 
Family Enchytr^id^. 
Enehytrceus albidus Henle. 
Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 623, 324 ( Halodrillus 
littoralis, sp. nov.); F. Smith, 1895, Moore, 
1905a, p. 394. 
Woods Hole; very common under dead seaweeds 
and stones, near high-water mark. — Verrill. 
“The best known and most generally dis- 
tributed of our littoral Oligochaeta. . . . 
Found in moist spots on farm lands on Marthas 
Vineyard, where it could readily be introduced 
in . . . eelgrass spread for fertilizer. About 
Woods Hole it also lives in damp, sandy woods 
and on the shores of fresh-water ponds, espe- 
cially of one that formerly was connected 
with the Sound.” — Moore.

This worm constructs familiar hard tubes from 
agglutinated sand grains, these tubes being 
adherent to stones, shells, and other objects.

( Clitellio irrorata, in part); Moore, 1905a,
