Stiition 205. Et Exemplar. I min Notisebog er 

 angivet ogsaa et Exemplar, funtlet paa Station 240 ; men 

 dette maa paa en eller anden Maade være bortkommet: 

 thi det har ikke været mig muligt at finde det blandt det 

 opbevarede Materiale. 



Artskarakter. 



Hele Dyrets Hoide er 25""". Fodskiven 35""" bred, 

 rund. med en tyk, ringformig Rand, dannende en Vold om 

 Kolumnens nederste Del. Fodskivens Underflade konkav, 

 foldet fra Centrum mod Peripherien. Kroppen cylindrisk, 

 smalere nedad mod Fodskiven ; dens nederste tre Fjerde- 

 dele, ligesom Fodskivens Rand, forsynet med en stærkt 

 inkrusteret Skede, hvis øverste Rand er glat. Den øverste 

 Fjerdedel nogen, cylindrisk, glat, har foroven en tyk. stærkt 

 krenuleret Rand. dannende en Krave med 24 Folder omkring 

 Mundskiven. Paa Kroppens Overflade spredte,* uregelmæs- 

 sigt stillede Sugevorter. Mundskiven næsten Håd med 12 

 brede Folder, udgaaende fra Munden og strækkende sig 

 henimod Tentaklerne, hvor de dele sig i to. Munden af- 

 lang med 12 Folder paa hver Side af Mundvigene. Ten- 

 taklerne retraktile, staa i 2 afvexlende Rækker, 12 i hver, 

 hvoraf de inderste ere længst. Den nogne Kropsdel med 

 Tentakler lader sig trække ind i Skeden, men Mundskiven 

 kan ikke ganske skjules. Farven: Skeden er inkrusteret 

 af lysegraat, lidt i det Grønlige spillende, Ler. Kroppens 

 nogne Del lysviolet; dens øverste, krenulerede Rand gulhvid. 

 De indre Tentakler brunviolette; de ydre lysere med en 

 hvid Ring omkring Grunddelen og en lysere Spids. Mund- 



skiven bleg violet med gulhvide Folder.

Fodskiven, som ikke er synderlig bredere end Kolum-

 næsten flad Underflade, der har mange fine Linier. som

 indtil et Par Millimeter fra den øverste Rand med en

Station Xo. 205. One specimen. In my Journal 

 another specimen, found at station No. 240, is also men- 

 tioned, but that one must in some way or other have 

 been lost, as it has not. subsequently, been found possible 

 to discover it amongst the material preserved. 



Speeifie characteristies. 



The height of the entire animal is 25'"'". The pedal 

 disc o5""" in breadth, round, with a thick annular margin, 

 forming a ridge round the lowest part of the column. The 

 under surface of the pedal disc concave, folded from the 

 centre towards the periphery. The body cylindric, nar- 

 rowest downwards towards the pedal disc. Its lowest 

 three-fourths part. as also the margin of the pedal disc, 

 furnished with a stronulv encrusted sheath, whose upper- 

 most margin is smooth. The uppermost fourth part bare, 

 cylindric, smooth. has at the top a thick. strongly-crenulated 

 margin, forming a collar. with 24 folds, round the oral disc. 

 On the exterior surface of the body, scattered, irregularly- 

 placed suckers. The oral disc almot flat. with 12 broad 

 folds isMiniL: from the mouth and extending themselves to- 

 wards the tentacles, where they become split into two. 

 The mouth oblong with 12 folds upon each side of the 

 oral angles. The tentacles retractile, placed in 2 alter- 

 nating series. 12 in each, of which the innermost are the 

 longest. Tlie bare portion of the body with the tentacles 

 can lie withdrawn into the sheath, but the oral disc cannot 

 be quite hidden. The colour. The sheath is encrusted with 

 a light-grey clay having a slightly greenish play of colour. The 

 bare part of the body light-violet; the uppermost. crenulated 

 margin yellowish white. The inner tentacles brown-violet, 

 the outer tentacles lighter in colour with a white annulus 

 round the base and lighter coloured point. The oral disc 

 pali' violet with yellowish-white folds.

The pedal disc, which is not much broader than the 

 column, is round. has an even, rather thin margin, and an 

 almost flat under-surface with numerous fine lines, radiating 

 from the centre towards the periphery, indicating the 

 insertions of septa. The column is 15'" in height, cylin- 

 dric, elad up to within a couple of millimetres from the 

 uppermost margin, with an encrusted, mueous sheath having 

 a free margin at the top, and which at the foot quite en- 

 closes the margin of the pedal disc (Pl. IV. fig. 8). The 

 exterior surface of the sheath is somewhat rough in con- 

 sequence of the encrusted coarse sand. and has fine longi- 

 tudinal folds which are neither very broad nor deep (Pl. 

 IV, fig. 8; Pl. XV, fig. 1). The bare part of the column
