black Telephorid , commonly called soldiers and sailors, were found, by Mr. Jenner Weir, to be refused by small birds. These and the allied Lampyrid (the fire-flies and glow-worms) in Nicaragua, were rejected by Mr. Belt's tame monkey and by his fowls, though most other insects were greedily eaten by them. The Coccinellid or lady-birds are another uneatable group, and their conspicuous and singularly spotted bodies serve to distinguish them at a glance from all other beetles. These uneatable

This fact, which has been doubted, is quite true; I have seen them several times with their heads backwards in a completely inverted position. To these observations I may add, on the high authority of Azara, that the Carrancha feeds on worms, shells, slugs, grasshoppers, and frogs ; that it

thus gave my father the opportunity of seeing for himself the effects produced by earthworms on the old concrete floors, walls, c. On his return he wrote to Sir Thomas Farrer: I cannot remember a more delightful week than the last. I know very well that E. will not believe me, but the worms were by no means the sole charm. In the autumn of 1880, when the Power of Movement in Plants was nearly finished, he began once more on the subject. He wrote to Professor Carus (September 21): In the

and could only be detected by the most careful observation. The worms were of deep tints of olive and yellow, and so on all through this floating city; the same brush, the same colours, the same artist had been employed, each and every living creature being in colour a mimic of the vast weed bed that constituted their floating home. The fact that I could not find the crabs and other forms without difficulty, though they were floating upon the surface, often in full view, suggested at once that

the societies, read a paper before the Geological Society on the Erratic Boulders of South America, another on Earthquakes, and still another on the Formation by the Agency of Earth-Worms of Mould. The zoölogy of the Beagle was in progress now, and received a portion of his time as well. Ill-health continued to follow him, and he tells us that scarcely twenty-four hours went over his head without some suffering. Yet this did not deter him from work; on the contrary, it seemed to spur him on to

for this purpose. Darwin saw in these coral-eating fish, the holothurians that ate mud and ground it up, the worms and shells, the agents which were at work here in lagoon-making, the white deposit of mud being mainly due to them—a suggestion that has been shown to contain much truth. The dredging about Keeling Island was suggestive to Darwin of interesting theories regarding the structure of reefs. Thus he found that at a distance of twenty-two hundred yards from the shore the water suddenly

This was the last great work of the naturalist. In Darwin's works there is rarely

reflect much on the effects of subsidence, and it was easy to replace in imagination the continued deposition of sediment by the upward growth of corals. To do this was to form my theory of the formation of barrier-reefs and atolls. Besides my work on coral-reefs, during my residence in London, I read before the Geological Society papers on the Erratic Boulders of South America,* on Earthquakes, and on the Formation by the Agency of Earth-worms of Mould. I also continued to superintend the

, but from a sort of bravado. I had a strong taste for angling, and would sit for any number of hours on the bank of a river or pond watching the float; when at Maer* I was told that I could kill the worms with salt and water, and from that day I never spitted a living worm, though at the expense probably of some loss of success. Once as a very little boy whilst at the day school, or before that time, I acted cruelly, for I beat a puppy, I believe, simply from enjoying the sense of power; but the

16. [January 1881] In the afternoon we walked up [from John Lubbock's] to see Darwin. He has of late been studying earthworms, and said to Lubbock, You antiquarians ought to have great respect for them; they have done more to preserve tesselated apavements than any other agency. I have ascertained, by careful examination, that the worms on a single acre of land bring up ten tons of dry earth to the surface in a year

Darwin did most of his writing, surrounded by his books. The chair stood near the fireplace, and in the wall by its side was a number of brass-beaded nails which the great man had placed there himself, for convenience of suspending specimens, papers, c. There are extensive shrubbery walks in the grounds, which he used for exercise and mediation. Just over the fence which divides the paddock from the lawn, we were shewn the contrivance for observing the habits of earth worms —a subject on which

collections of various objects. His love for dogs amounted to a passion: and once he tells us when he had beaten a puppy. The deed haunted him for days. His humanity was always remarkable. He would never take more than a single egg out of a bird's nest; and would first kill with salt and water the worms he was about to use in fishing. His skill at throwing was great, and once he killed a hare with a marble; years afterwards, he threw stone at a crossbeak, and to his deep sorrow, killed it. He

Climbing Plants appeared in 1875; a thick volume on Insectivorous Plants in the same year; Cross and Self-Fertilisation in 1876; the Forms of Flowers in 1877; the Movements of Plants, embodying much original research, in 1880; and his remarkable little book on Earthworms in 1881. This last work is highly characteristic of the author. In 1837 he had contributed to the Geological Society a short paper on the formation of vegetable mould by the agency of worms. For more than forty years this subject

He also read several papers before the Geological Society, including two (1838 and 1840) on the Formation of Mould by the Action of Earth-Worms a subject to which he returned, and upon which his last volume (published in 1881) was written. He also read a paper on the Parallel Roads of Glen Roy before the Royal Society (published in the Phil. Trans., 1839). These wonderful parallel terraces are now admitted to be due to the changes of level in a lake following those of an ice-barrier at

somewhat rolled about. But not a few of the particles may have passed through the bodies of worms during the years since the road was laid down. I still think that the fragments are ground in the gizzards of worms, which always contain bits of stone; but I must try and get more evidence. I have to-day started a pot with worms in very fine soil, with sharp fragments of hard tiles laid on the surface, and hope to see in the course of time whether any of those become rounded. I do not think that more

depth of four or five or six feet is certain, as the worms retire to this depth during very dry and very cold weather. As worms devour greedily raw flesh and dead worms, they could devour dead larvae, eggs, etc., etc., in the soil, and thus they might locally add to the amount of nitrogen in the soil, though not of course if the whole country is considered.
