On p. 96 discussing Arenicola (Telethusae) Savigny has a remarkable footnote of interest because it indicates input by Savigny into the 'Systeme des Annelides' after his unpublished MS was available to Lamarck & Cuvier. He writes (transl) "I read in the l'Histoire des animaux sans vertèbres [by Lamarck]: "Mr. Savigny places the Arenicole among the Serpulous Annelids; he assures that the animal has hooked bristles and that it lives in a tube" As the end of this paragraph presents an equivocal meaning, I believe I must reproduce here the passage from my memoirs that M. de Lamarck then had before his eyes: "The Arenicoles must form in the order of the Serpulea a third family, which will be sufficiently distinguished from the second by the presence of the gills, and from the first by the position of these gills towards the middle of the body.... [etc]"
