It is worth noting that the common expressions * poor land ' and 4 rich land ' usually refer respectively to soils with little humus and soils with much humus in them. 3. Earth-worms are very active agents in distributing humus through the soil. They carry leaves down into their burrows and bring to the surface, and deposit there, large quanti- ties of earth in the form of castings. Darwin estimated that in an English meadow the earth-worms brought to the surface upwards of 15 tons of earth per... acre per year. Owing to this action of the earth-worms, objects lying on the surface are slowly buried or appear to sink into the ground. In 1842 Darwin spread a quantity of chalk over a field in order to ob- serve at a future date to what depth it had been buried. At the end of twenty-nine years a trench was dug across the field, when a line of white nodules were traced on both sides of it at a depth of seven inches below the surface. The mould, therefore, (excluding turf) had been thrown up at an average rate of "2*2 inches per annum through the agency of earth-worms It is estimated that the soil so brought up in this meadow weighed about 73, 000lbs.
