The branchial plumes in Doris form an elaborate coronal 

 around the vent, which, viewed with a common lens in a 

 vessel of water, forms when fully expanded a beautiful 

 object. The surface of the mantle is either smooth or 

 tubercular, and the sheaths of the tentacles are often crenate 



on their margins.
