SERPULA
Ser"pu*la, n.; pl. Serpulæ, E. Serpulas. Etym: [L., a little snake.
See Serpent.] (Zoöl.)
Definition: Any one of numerous species of tubicolous annelids of the genus
Serpula and allied genera of the family Serpulidæ. They secrete a
calcareous tube, which is usually irregularly contorted, but is
sometimes spirally coiled. The worm has a wreath of plumelike and
often bright-colored gills around its head, and usually an operculum
to close the aperture of its tube when it retracts.
