 of the Scottish coast, common. 



Length upwards of an inch, the breadth about one-third less ; orifices lit- 

 tie raised, and rather remote ; the inner tunic bluish-white ; tentacular fila- 

 ments of the branchial orifice, long, slender, and upwards of twenty in num-

 without rays ; the angles of the branchial meshes simple ;

Length about two inches ; thick at the base, where the stomach is placed ; 

 narrow during the course of the intestine, and then expanding into a blunt 

 head for the branchial cavity ; at the base there are numerous branched tubes,
