Page 64 - For, to say nothing of half the birds, and some quadrupeds which are almost entirely supported by them, worms seem to be the great promoters of vegetation, which would proceed but lamely without them, by boring, perforating, and loosening the soil, and rendering it pervious to rains and the fibres of plants, by drawing straws and stalks of leaves and twigs into it; and, most of all, by throwing up such infinite numbers of lumps of earth called wormcasts, which, being their excrement, is a fine manure...
Page 64 - ... by drawing straws and stalks of leaves and twigs into it; and, most of "all, by throwing up such infinite numbers of lumps of earth called " worm-casts, which, being their excrement, is a fine manure for grain "and grass... the earth without worms would soon become cold, hard" bound, and void of fermentation, and consequently sterile.

Page 279 - MORGULIS TWO FIGURES In presenting these observations upon the movements of earthworms and the conclusions to which the results of specially arranged experiments have led me, I shall deal with two distinct problems. The one is, whether the earthworm in locomotion reacts as a succession of separate segments or as a unit-organism ; the other is, what determines the worm's movement in a definite direction? Strange as it may seem at first glance, a definite solution of the first problem depends to some...
Page 205 - It is not only able to utilise for jts metabolism such organic nitrogen compounds as urea and uric acid, but thrives better in such solutions than in the presence of nitrates only. It is capable of a saprophytic as well as of a holophytic mode of life, and under the former conditions exists in both colourless and green forms. The association of this plastic infecting organism with Convoluta roscoffensis is traced by the authors to its hunger for organic nitrogen, such as is afforded by the egg-capsules...

Friend has recorded it from England and Paisley, Southern finds it commonly in the north of Ireland, and abroad its range extends from Portugal to Norway, Iceland, etc., so it should surely occur in some part of our area.1 In the choice of habitat Oligochaetes, in common with other creatures, have their likes and dislikes.
