The integument is much tougher than that of A. mesembryanthe- 

 mum, having a coriaceous feel. The body is never tumid and 

 globose as that species usually is, but much depressed ; and its

 tentacula. The tubercles were of the most vivid ultramarine." —

 pools ; the old ones are solitary, not more than one on a stone ; but 

 there are two or sometimes four young on the same stone. They 

 vary in colour from a bright pea-green to the dark holly-leaf tint,
