EEPORT ON L.M.B.C. NEMERTINES. 467 



of the body was much wrinkled transversely, the intervening 

 folds being densely crowded with flakes of opaque white, 

 so that the brownish flesh-colour of the deeper tissues was 

 only visible in the wrinkles. No granular brown pigment 

 was present. The brain showed as an ill defined pinkish 

 mass. A caudal appendage was present. A second 

 specimen 6 mm. long was dredged on the same ground 

 later. The ground colour was white with a yellowish 

 tinge due to the gut, the wrinkhng was less marked than 

 in the larger individual, which it otherwise closely 

 resembled. The single specimen taken by Kiches at 

 Plymouth is the only previous British record for this 

 species. 



Cerehratidus fuscus (M'Intosh), Hubrecht. 



The posterior end of a large individual of this species 

 was dredged in the neighbourhood of Spanish Head on 

 the *'Lady Loch" excursion of June 1st, 1895. The 

 dorsal surface was somewhat profusely spotted with brown 

 pigment ; this and the very characteristic shape left no 

 doubt as to its identity. 



During the course of the same month one specimen 

 about 2 cm. long and some half dozen smaller ones were 

 obtained off Port Erin in 15 to 20 fathoms.
