9 Palio lessonii (d'Orbigny). 



Gould, 1870, p. 226 (Polycera Lessonii); Verrill 

 and Smith, 1873, p. 665, 333, etc. (Polycera 

 lessonii). 



No definite local records, though this region lies 

 within the stated range of the species. 



Acanthodoris pilosa (Abildgaard). 



Verrill and Smith, 1873, P- 664, 307, etc. (Doris 

 bifida). 



No definite local records given by Verrill. A 

 specimen collected in this vicinity by Mr. 

 Gray has been thus identified by Dr. Mac- 

 Farland. According to Verrill this species is 

 to be found on the underside of rocks near 

 shore. Its eggs are said to be "contained in 

 convoluted gelatinous ribbons." 



9 Lamellidoris muricata (Miiller). 

 Verrill, iSSzc, p. 550. 



No definite local records, though this region lies 

 within the stated range of the species. 



Lamellidoris pallida (Agassiz). 



Gould, 1870, p. 229 (Doris pallida); Verrill and 



Smith, 1873, p. 665, 495 (Onchidoris pallida). 

 "Dredged by Messrs. Prudden and Russell, off 



Cuttyhunk Island, in April, 1872." Verrill. 



Idaliella modesta (Verrill). 



Verrill, 18753, p. 41 (Idalia modesta); Verrill, 

 iSSac, p. 548. 



Vineyard Sound and off No Mans Land. 

 Family CORAMBID.B. 



Corambe obscura (Verrill). 



Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 664, 307, eic.(Dori- 

 della obscura). 



Vineyard Sound. Verrill. Said to occur on the 

 under side of stones and among hydroids. Six 

 specimens were taken by one of the survey col- 

 lectors off Gay Headf, on floating weed, July 

 7, 1904. Dr. MacFarland notes that thisspecies 

 "requires detailed study with sections to de- 

 termine its position and relationships." 



According to Verrill "the eggs are inclosed in a 

 delicate gelatinous string, which is coiled up 

 something like a watch-spring, and attached 

 to the under side of stones." 



Family 



/Eolidia papillosa ( Linnaeus; . 



Gould, 1870, p. 239 (/Eolis papillosa); Verrill and 

 Smith, 1873, p. 666, 486, etc. (/Eolis papillosa r, 

 Mead, 1898, p. 703 (Eolis papillosa). 



No local records by Gould or Verrill. Mentioned 

 by Mead as taken in spawning condition during 

 April, presumably at Woods Hole. A speci- 

 men collected by Mr. Gray at Quicks H >le, 

 March 25, iSgSf; anotherf taken somewhere in 

 this vicinity, but not labeled. 



Craiena pilata (Gould). 



Gould, 1870, p. 243 (jEolis pilata); Verrill and 

 Smith, 1873, p. 666, 383 (Montagua pilata and 

 Molis pilata); Bergh, 1885, p. 31. 



Two specimens studied by Bergh were taken by 

 Verrill in Vineyard Sound, April, 1873. E. G. 

 Conklin (Marine Biological Laboratory card 

 catalogue) notes the presence of this species 

 among Tubularia on the piles of the local pier. 

 Specimens from the following points were sent 

 to Dr. MacFarland for identification: Fish 

 Hawk station 7560; vicinity of Woods Hole 

 (G. M. Gray, collector); local pier in surface 

 tow, taken on a number of occasions as follows 

 (V. N. Edwards, collector): October 12, 1904 

 (i specimen); January 29, 1907 (4); March 30, 

 1907 (i); April i, 1907 (i); April 4, 1907 (4); 

 April 23, 1907 (2); June 21, 1907 (i). 



Dr. Conklin records taking the eggs from June 15 

 to July 15, in close white masses of jelly, de- 

 posited amongst Tubularia. 



Cratena gymnota (Couthouy). 



Gould, 1870, p. 249 (jEolis gymnota); Verrill and 

 Smith, 1873, p. 667, 383 (Coryphclla gymnota, 

 also Carolina gymnota); Verrill, iSSob, p. 390. 



A specimen (or specimens) apparently of this 

 species was "found by Prof. Todd, on an old 

 wreck in the Woods Hole passage." Verrill. 

 Local pier, in surface towf, May 26, 1905, i 

 specimen (V. N. Edwards, collector). 



Tergipes despectus (Johnston). 



Gould, 1870, p. 248 (.Eolis despecta); Verrill and 

 Smith, 1873, p. 667, 495. (In neither work 

 listed specifically for this region). 



J. S. Khigsley (Marine Biological Laboratory 

 card catalogue) notes that the eggs of this spe- 

 cies were laid on campanularian hydroids (pre- 

 sumably at Woods Hole) July 14, 1889.
