IN your interesting note on the palolo worm of Samoa (NATURE, March 31, p. 523) an error has crept in about the wawo of Rumphius, which is said to be doubtless the same as the Pacific palolo. Thanks to the kindness of Prof. Max Weber, the head of the Dutch Siboga Expedition, that explored the seas of the Malay Archipelago during the years 1899-1900, I had the opportunity of examining a cluster of these worms from Banda, where they are called oelie by the natives; especially in the months of March and April, the second and third nights after full moon they are swarming there in great numbers at the surface of the sea.
