The investigation, the results of which are embodied in the following pages, was begun in the summer of 1896 and carried on at intervals during the three following years, partly in the Laboratory of the Zoological Institute and partly in a room hired for the purpose of facilitating the collection of fresh materials.
The subject was taken up at the suggestion of Professor Ijima, who has also kindly undertaken the work of revising the manuscript. To him and also to Professor Mitsukuri I beg to express my sincere thanks for the help and advice which they have frequently extended to me in connection with my work. Further I am under deep obligation to Professor K. Osawa of the medical college, who, being himself much interested in observing the breeding and swarming habits of the worm described in this paper, has favored me with valuable information and suggestions.
