believes, had constructed these castings. They were sent to M. Perrier,
who with great kindness examined and named them for me: they consisted of
_Perich ta affinis_, a native of Cochin China and of the Philippines; _P.
Luzonica_, a native of Luzon in the Philippines; and _P. Houlleti_, which
lives near Calcutta. M. Perrier informs me that species of Perich ta
have been naturalized in the gardens near Montpellier and in Algiers.
Before I had any reason to suspect that the tower-like castings from Nice
had been formed by worms not endemic in the country, I was greatly
surprised to see how closely they resembled castings sent to me from near
Calcutta, where it is known that species of Perich ta abound.
