Leptoplana lactoalba V. 



These Trans., x, p. 595, fig. 9, 1900. 



Numerous specimens of this species were taken in 1901, many of 



which differ from the typical form, in being more or less tinged 



with flesh-color or pale yellowish brown. For this variety it may 



be convenient to have a special name. No differences, except in 



* color, were noticed. 



Var. tincta, nov. 



Plate V. Figure 8. 



Color of dorsal surface pale flesh-color, light salmon-color, or pale 

 brownish yellow, due to numerous minute specks of pigment scattered 

 in the tissues ; margins paler ; not very translucent. In* this species 

 the principal or most conspicuous cerebral ocelli form a pair of round 

 clusters, well apart, on slightly elevated verrucas. There is a simple 

 row of two or three ocelli behind the round groups and a crowded, 

 usually curved row in front. The stomach is not very long. No 

 marginal ocelli were observed. 



The form is very changeable and the species is very active, both 

 in creeping and swimming. 



Length up to 40 or 50 mm ; breadth, 18 to 25 mm . 



Long Bird Island; Harrington Sound ; Castle Harbor, etc., under 

 stones and corals. Common. 



NEMERTINA. 



Two or three additional species of Nemerteans were obtained in 

 1901, but they have not yet been fully studied. 



The most interesting one was taken singly, two or three times, 

 under stones, at low-tide. It was 150 to 175 mm long, and about 4 or 

 5 mm broad. It was somewhat flattened, except anteriorly. Its color 

 was bright orange or scarlet ; no eyes were seen. It appeared to be 

 related to Polia or Eupolia. 



A species of Lineus was found in May by Mr. W. G. Van Name, 

 among alga?, in a rather brackish pond near Bailey Bay. It was 

 dark grayish brown on the upper side, >paler beneath. Length, 75 to 

 100 mm . It occurred in considerable numbers, but it has not yet been 

 studied with care. 



The terrestrial nemertean (Tetr astern ma agricola W. Suhm) was 

 found common in April, near Hungry Bay, under stones and burrow- 

 ing in the soil like an earthworm. They were from 2 to 4 inches
