Abstract

[From introduction:]
This worm was found at Sheppey by the members of the University College Biological Society during an expedition made there in July, 1889. It appears to have been already known to naturalists living at Sheppey, but no one had tried to identify it. Not being able to find any published account of it, I believe it to be as yet undescribed, and have therefore, at Professor Lankester's kind suggestion, undertaken the examination and description of it.
