Serpula contortiplicata "The Serpulae, which form irregularly twisted calcareous tubes, often grow together in large masses, generally attached to shells and similar objects; while those genera which, like the Terebella, build their residences of sand and stones, appear to prefer a life of single blessedness." — Goodrich, 1859

Earth-worms "The bodies of these animals are of a cylindrical form, somewhat pointed at the anterior extremity, and usually a little flattened at the tail. The skin is tough, and divided into numerous segments by transverse wrinkles, and the organs of motion are reduced to the form of a double row of bristles, running down the lower surface of the body." — Goodrich, 1859
Earthworm Earthworms are segmented worms that live in the earth.
Earthworm The earthworm works through the ground by insinuating its pointed head between the grains of dirt, (Hooker, 1882).

Leech Leeches are parasitic worms.
Leech Leeches are characterized by the fact that they have no lateral appendages, but are furnished with a sucker or disc at one end or at both extremeties.
Leech Leeches are characterized by the fact that they have no lateral appendages, but are furnished with a sucker or disc at one end or at both extremeties. This is the anterior extremity showing the sucker.
Leech "The animals belonging to this order, of which the Common Leech is a familiar example, are characterized by the total deficiency of any lateral appendages, their motions being effected by undulations of the body while swimming, or by the alternate attachment of the sucking discs with which the two extremities of their bodies are usually furnished." — Goodrich, 1859
Leech A class of suctorial worms found in bodies of water, marshes, and other moist places. There are many species, most of which inhabit fresh-water ponds, but they are also found in marine waters.
Liver-fluke Liver-flukes live parasitically within other animals, primarily birds and fishes. They are all more or less flattened and rounded in shape and they adhere by suctorial discs.
Lob-worm "Errantia means wandering, and is applied to numerous species, of which the Lob-worm or Lug-worm, Arenicola piscatorum, is a common example. This animal, much used by fishermen for bait, is nearly a foot long, and is found on sandy parts of the coast, where it bores into the sand left wet by the retiring tide; its head is large and rounded, quite destitute of eyes or tentacula, and furnished with a short, unarmed proboscis. The feet are very small, and confined to the anterior part of the body, while the branchial tufts, which are of considerable size, are placed on each side of the middle segments." — Goodrich, 1859
Meal Worm Meal Worm, Larva of a Flour Beetle.
Meal-worm The meal-worm, Tenebrio molitor species; larva.
Terebella medusa "Distinguished by their habit of forming a tube or case, within which the soft parts of the animal can be retracted. This tube is usually attached to stones or other submarine bodies. It is often composed of carious foreign materials, such as sand, small stones, and the debris of shells, lined internally with a smooth covering of hardened mucus." — Goodrich, 1859
Nais "In their form they resemble the common earth-worm; but their bodies are furnished, besides the ventral bundles of bristles, with a series of long spines on each side. They generally have two distinct eyes, and the mouth is sometimes armed with a long proboscis." — Goodrich, 1859
Nereis "The family Nereidae includes some elongated and distinctly annulated worms, which possess a well-developed head, furnished with tentacles and eyes, and a mouth with a proboscis, which is sometimes furnished with two or four teeth." — Goodrich, 1859
Ptychodera Flava "Ptychodera flava (New Caledonia), from above; about life size." — The Encyclopedia Britannica, 1910
Silk-worm moth, caterpillar, and chrysalis "This important insect is a native of the north of China; and a great portion of the supplies of silk for Europe and America are still derived from that country." — Goodrich, 1859
Silkworm Silkworms are the larvae of moths that spin silken cocoons.
Silkworm A silkworm and a moth.
Tape-worm Tape-worms live parasitically within other animals, and are often spoken of as Entozoa. This is an egg, containing the young tape-worm.

Tape-worm Tape-worms live parasitically within other animals, and are often spoken of as Entozoa. This is a fragment of Taenia solium, showing the generative joints.
Tape-worm "The body is composed of numerous joints or segments, each one resembling the others; these are often several hundreds in number, and the animal sinetunes attains a length of upwards of ten feet." It is furnished with hooks and suckers at the head, by means of which it anchors itself to the intestines of its victims." — Goodrich, 1859
Tapeworm Probably the most widely known of the flatworms are the tapeworms. These are parasites in the digestive tube of various vertebrates, including man.
Tapeworm Tapeworms live in the intestines of mammals.
Tapeworm "The Tapeworm is an intestinal worm, Tænia solium, in form somewhat resembling tape. Its length is from 5 to 15 yards, and its breadth from two lines at the narrowest part to four or five at the other or broader extremity. At the narrow end is the head, which is terminated anteriorly by a central rostellum, surrounded by a crown of small recurved hooks, and behind them four suctorial depressions; then follow an immense number of segments, each full of microscopic ova. The segments are capable of being detached when mature, and reproducing the parasite. There is no mouth; but nutrition appears to take place through the tissues of the animal, as algæ derive nourishment from the sea water in which they float. The digestive system consists of two tubes or lateral canals, extending from the anterior to the posterior end of the body, and a transverse canal at the summit of each joint. [Pictured] Portion of tapeworm, natural size, showing the alternating arrangement of the generative pores."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
