METHODS Five hundred Eisenia foetida were purchased from Bra-zos Worm Farms (Waco, Tex. 76705) and 500 were sup-plied by the FMC Corporation (Niagara Chemical Divi-son, Middleport, N. Y.). These worms, referred to by the dealer as “red-gold hybrids,” were kept under conditions identical with those forLumbricus. The latter were pur-chased and maintained as described by Stenersen et al.(1973). All worms used were adults and weighed either 3-5 g (Lumbricus) or 0.5-0.7 g (Eisenia). Toxicants were obtained, prepared, and administered as outlined by Stenersen et al.(1973). All worms to be injected were prechilled on ice for 15 min. The maximum injection for Lumbricus was 5 and the maximum for Eisenia was 1 pi. Selection of carbofuran-treated vs. untreated soils by the two species was tested by presenting both soil types in the same container. Round plastic buckets (20-cm diameter) were used. Carbofuran (recrystallized) was incorporated into the treated soils at 1.5-2.0 ppm. The soil types
