Habitat. — In tide pool, about half -tide, on Outer 

 Allans, Cumbrae. This was a female, with the body 

 red, and closely studded with dark dots. This 

 species was dredged plentifully between the Allans, 

 male and female, in 1 to 2 fathoms, amongst Zostera 

 and fragmentary sea - weeds. There were more 

 females than males, the proportion being perhaps 

 two to one. They vary much in colour, particularly 

 the females. Taken also in February by the dip- 

 net, a little south from bathing-shade on the east 

 side of Kaines Bay, among stones and sea-weed at 

 low-water; in this case all obtained were females 

 in ova. It has also been taken at Plymouth at 

 low spring-tides by Mr. Barlee; Banff, Mr. Edward;
