The history of the curious little an
nelid worm, Pal0lo viridis. of the Sa-
oInna Islands, in its development. ex-
hibits one of the most wonderful
phases of life in the sea. The phe-
nomenon for which this sea worm Is
noted is its regular appearance in my
riads. on the surface of the sea, for "A
few minutes only on one or two days
of the year. This swarming of palolos
occur iii the vicinity of the coral reefs.
and take place at the dawn of the day
at the time of the moons last quar-
tering. in the months of October and
November.
Naturalists, in describing them to
the scientific societies, We're entirely
in the dark as to the character of the
creatures head Subsequent observa-
tons, however. resulted in the discoy-
cry of perfect specimens or of frag-
nents With heads attached.
The life story of the palolos shows
that this appearance of headless bod
les on the surface of the sea has ref
erence TO its peculiar breeding habi0
1t dwells in the instices of the coral
reefs; and when the spawning season
arrives the bodies Of the males and the
females break away from their heads
and rise In countless numbers TO the
surface of the water. The sea then
presents a view for several inches be-
low the surface one wriggling mass OF
green and brown worms.
The natives OF Samoa hold the palolo
in high esteem as a toothsome edible.
For DAYS before the certain appearance
of the worm there is great excitement
among the natives and much making
- foVs In
When the proper time arrives the
whole population, man woman and
child, makes its way in canoes, by the
faint light of the waning moon, to the
locality where the palolo occurs. Here
tie natives wait for the dawn of day,
at which the palolos rise to the sur
face. but only a few minutes before
and after sunrise. The eager natives
gather them quickly and in immense
numbers. return to the shore to feast
and to dispatch presents of palolos to
distant relatives, whose regions are
not favored by the visit Of this tid-bit.
The palolo is from one inch to eigh-
teen inches long and about one-eighth
to one-quarter of an inch in thickness.
The head is slightly narrower than the
body. The body Is fringed with row
of hairs on each side, the hairs gath
cred In clusters. two clusters, one on
each side, to each segment of the body.
The posterior extremity tapers, and is
armed with four tectacles, which are
in two pairs, one pair very much long
er than the other. The worm has been
described in the Proceedings of the 10
illogical Society of London by the Rev.
$. j. Whitmee. as moving rapidly
