None. Begins: "The following records serve to show that as yet we are far from having gained a complete knowledge of the Annelid fauna of our own country. Nearly every time I go out to collect, some species new to Britain or to science is discovered; and, as each species has its place in the economy of nature, it is clear that we have much yet to learn respecting the part which the lesser worms play as friends or foes of the farmer and the gardener. My present records will be limited to one family, the Enchytraeids. For the rest, suffice it to place on record the fact that Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri, Claparede, was found by me at Easter near the lake in Sutton Park, Birmingham this being, so far as I know, the first record for this country"
