March 4 1881 (1) Narrow Triangles of Paper – Worms in Pots

Pot I 3 drawn in all angled into balls. I believe 2 by base & 1 by apex.

Pot II 1 by apex terminal inch doubled}

1 by apex – terminal inch doubled} in same hole

1 by apex much crumpled

1 by base

March 5 Pot II 1 by tip not doubled

Pot I by apex – doubled from 1 1/4 inch from apex}

by apex doubled at 1 3/4 inch from apex} same burrow

by base & much doubled

Mar 6 Pot I all drawn: 1 doubled by middle & hardly drawn in

II 2 drawn in by base, & a 3d not drawn in, bur had been doubled in middle

Worm work in slovenly manner in confinement.

March 7th Pot I 1 narrow by apex 1.3 at tip doubled

Pot II They gnaw tips of paper

1 Broad by apex not at all doubled, basal angles dirtied (3) but not bent, & this was 1 which I saw worm first trying to invert by basal angles & whole base

1 Broad by apex – tip not doubled, but crumpled, partly due to hole not being straight; basal angles a little dirtied

1 Broad inverted short way by one of the basal angles in same hole as (3). These narrow triangles quite hidden in depth & disappeared: one was drawn by apex.

March 8th (2) Worm in Pots

Pot I 1 Broad by apex little doubled basal angles clean

1 B. by base – little in

D 1 B by apex – 1.2 of tip doubled

Pot II 1 Broad by base – (one entering disappeared I suppose narrow)

March 9th Pot I I all crumpled & going on surface, yet last night other paper were seen to drag the triangle into burrows

Pot II see last night

1 in by base}

1 doubled by middle} same Hole

1 had been drawn in in & lost to view, had been drawn in in by middle

How differently these worms behave to those in a state of nature

March 10 9 Last evening whole surface of base Pots round with layer of gravel, passed down, so as to make the drawing in of the triangle not so easy

Pot I 1 very little in by apex

1 by base & base doubled

1 by apex but tip an inch doubled}

1 by base} same hole

Pot II 1 by middle

1 by base, & then by middle & much crumpled

March 11th Pot I 2 by tips 1 by base 2 others [2 words illeg] mauled but not in any [illeg]

Pot II None in burrows, but 2 much mauled about & dirtied

March 12th

(3) Narrow Triangles given to worms in Pots – soil pored with gravel

Pot I 1 by base} 1 by apex} same hole

1 rolled many in middle, nearer to base one has quite disappeared

Pot II none drawn in

March 13 Pot 1

1 by apex

1 rolled longitudinally to hole

1 1 doubled transversely to hole

two others dirtied not drawn in

Pot II 1 by apex

1 all angled up into ball I think entered by apex

March 15th Pot 1 1 By base Pot II 1 by tip, 1 by base, & 1 doubled

M. 16 Pot I 1 by apex

M. 17 Pot I 1 by apex

18 Pot II – 1 by apex, 1 doubled in middle

19 Pot I 2 by apex & some lost Pot II 2 by base & 1 by apex

March 25th

Worm in confinement Triangles of Paper

Pot I 1 n} 1 B} by apex 1 lost

Pot II 1n by base.

26 Pot I 1 B by base

27 Pot I 1 B & 1 n by apex Pot II 1 n doubled by middle
