Abstract
I HAVE been much interested in the communications in Nature concerning the palolo worm, sent by Commdr. William Burrows1 and by Mr. R. A. Leven2. I should like to direct attention to the paper published nearly forty years ago by W. McM. Woodworth, in which the distribution, habits, structure and history of the palolo are fully discussed. It was published in 1907 in the Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, 51, No. 1, 1–21, pls. 1–3. As it was based largely on Woodworth's own observations, it is of real importance and should not be forgotten or overlooked.
