This paper was presented at the Association’s July 1867 Barnstaple meeting. Annelids, generally known as ringed or segmented worms, are a large class of over 22,000 extant species including ragworms, earthworms, and leeches. The author was a self-made man of science of the old school and a Naturalist who left a manuscript work on the fungi of Devonshire in 12 volumes, illustrated by 1530 plates that he drew and painted himself. He also contributed numerous papers to the Association’s Transactions, the ‘Annals and Magazine of Natural History,’ ‘Entomological Magazine,’ ‘Naturalist,’ and ‘Transactions’ of the Royal Microscopical Society. His extensive obituary with a list of his major publications is available here. The Paper, from a copy of a rare and much sought-after journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive.
