Abstract
ATTENTION has recently been drawn by Prof. Andrews (American Naturalist, September, 1892) and myself (Science Gossip, 1892) to some abnormal conditions of life among the terrestrial annelids. I have now to place on record a totally new appearance, which is, I think, very aptly expressed by the term “hare-lip.” The worm which I have had under examination presented the peculiarity figured below, and when alive and in motion suggested to my mind most forcibly the appearance which we associate with the name I have adopted.
