When the tube is overset or cast out by the waves or accident, the worm leaves it, and becomes, in its turn, exposed to enemies. To protect itself from these while a new tube is being secreted, nature has amply furnished the Sao with a series of bristling lances on each side. These arms are of exquisite make, very fine and very sharp; and those of the upper bundle have their points bent and inclined towards those of the lower bundle, which are likewise bent to meet them. en https://books.google.com/books?id=UVEEAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA169 The Annelidan Worms, or Annelides (Annelida) William Baird (physician) William Baird The Student and Intellectual Observer Groombridge & Sons London 9344588 1869 3 169 Amongst the other genera belonging to this group of Euniceans, there are one or two which inhabit tubes.
