Zoological taxonomic determinations of worms, written on loose sheets, with one genus per sheet, with a folder entitled 'Vermes' in Linnaeus's hand. The genera names were inscribed on the page before information gleaned from readings was filled in the spaces allocated to each genus (between a page, half, and third of a page depending on the perceived importance of the genus). Most of the genera are left undescribed.
