C. RETICULATA; T. S. Wright. 



Ann. N. H. for August 1861, (ser. 3) viii. 123, woodcut, fig. 1. 



POLYPITES (alimentary) minute, white, with short tentacles, 

 borne at distant intervals on a close network of flattened 

 tubes; GONOPHORES (male) oval, somewhat pointed above, 

 numerous, developed on imperfect polypites, which are 

 thickened towards the apex. 



ALL our knowledge of this species is derived from a very 

 brief description by Dr. Strethill Wright, which is not 

 minute enough to be of much value. 



Hab. On an old shell, Granton, near Edinburgh 



(T. S.W.).
