years ago!) which I must say in apology were never for an instant intended for publication, in the shade'.104 If Darwin wished to ensure priority over Wallace, surely it would have been better to say he was ready to publish long ago but held back to avoid abuse, rather than saying he was still working on it. In July 1844, the same month in which he wrote the species sketch, he also wrote papers on Atlantic dust105 and on terrestrial and marine Planariae (flat worms)106 and sorted his collections

of view at least, earthworms are quite simple animals. Worms helps to fulfill the prediction that Darwin made in the Origin: Psychology will be based on a new foundation, that of the necessary acquirement of each mental power and capacity by gradation. The book, however, is structured so as to put most of the geology last, because it is easier to understand the geology if one already knows about the biology of the worms. So Darwin begins, in Chapter I, with a discussion of their sensory

diverse kinds of sensitiveness. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that the tip of the radicle thus endowed, and having the power of directing the movements of the adjoining parts, acts like the brain of one of the lower animals; the brain being seated within the anterior end of the body, receiving impressions from the sense-organs, and directing the several movements.

His greatest work was a Histore des Progr s de la G ologie (1847-1860). In the first volume he criticized Darwin's views on the formation of mould by earthworms. Darwin, in Worms, responded that D'Archiac was arguing from inner consciousness rather than observation. References

occasional erosion by the sea. It turned out that they were the product of lakes that were dammed by glaciers. Another geological topic that attracted his interest was the effects of earthworms in forming the soil and changing the landscape. He returned to that in has last book, supplemented by much later research on the behavior of the worms.

Darwin showed that the reason ancient ruins and artefacts are found underground is because they are undermined and buried by worms. Worms push up small piles of castings from their burrows. These, in effect, constantly push

, completely change and shape the surface of the land. Darwin showed that the actions of worms were of great value to the soil by fertilizing it, aerating it with their burrows, which also allowed the soil to absorb more water and facilitated the growth of the roots of plants. Through careful measurements and experiments Darwin could show that all the vegetable mould over the whole country has passed many times through, and will again pass many times through, the intestinal canals of worms
