| Title | Paper, 'Preliminary notice of a new form of excretory organs in an oligochaetous annelid' by Frank Evers Beddard |
| Date | 1891 |
| Description | Beddard writes: 'So far as our knowledge of the Oligochseta goes at present, the excretory system appears to consist either of one or more pairs of separate nephridia in each segment, or of a diffuse, irregularly arranged system of tubules with numerous external pores upon each segment, and often with numerous coelomic funnels in each segment; there may or may not be a connexion between the tubes of successive segments.'
