 Crust. Brit. Mus. (1862), p. 107, pi. xvii., fig. 6. 



Habitat. — A single specimen was obtained on two 

 different occasions off the Tan Buoy, Cumbrae, in 

 7 to 8 fathoms, among the roots of Laminaria 

 saccharina. The animal, when taken, was of a 

 beautiful purple colour. 



While looking over some small ascidians (Molgula), 

 taken in 60 fathoms, a little north of the lighthouse, 

 Little Cumbrae, one of the above species was found 

 with them. There can scarcely be any doubt that 

 it had been brought up in the dredge attached to 

 one of the ascidians.

Habitat. — Moderately common all round our sandy 

 shores near low- water, and taken most successfully 

 by the sieve. They burrow more deeply than most 

 of their allies, and are generally found four or five 

 inches beneath the surface. Most of their time 

 seems to be spent in their burrows; and in confine- 

 ment, when supplied with sand, they are seldom to 

 be seen on the surface. Their feet are short, stiff,
