(1) Introdn p. 3 alteration at X

Ch I p 1 line 1

Earthworms, which form the subdivision terricola of the Oligochæta, consists of several genera distributed throughout the world & externally closely similar to one another.

p 3 (bottom Rt side) — would it be more correct to put in "usually" as you say in p 4 that they do leave their burrows

p 5 (x) (Rt side high up) — small ink correction

[46]

p 6 (bottom) In your sentence (beginning p 6) the words "on repeatedly looking" &c do not fit into the worms not being alarmed

p 7 (top) insert "yet"

p 7 — near top — ink correction

p 11 (Rt side middle) It seemed ungrammatical without this correction

p 14 (near top) X My correction seems much simpler

p 15 speak about two corrections near top —

p 15 X Near bottom rt side, I think "into the stem of roots" comes in very awkwardly & might be deled

I think your argument wants a "however," and to be made a separate sentence
