Animal, when extended, one and a half diameters of the 

 shell ; tentacles, very long and slender ; foot, drab colored ; 

 head, tentacles, eyes, and a linear spot on the median line of 

 tail greenish black ; lip, paler. The proportion of dark and 

 light color, variable. iMotions unusually brisk, nearly as much 

 so as those of a Cyclostoma, and the animal is apparently 

 much less timid. Found under leaves, and adhering high up 

 the side of the precipice, near Chapeau's Cave, and never un- 

 der ground like the other species. " Some are bright yellow 

 without markings, others plain white, and then again with a 

 white ground and beautifully marked."
