posterior extremity rounded ; cuticle covered with irregular vermiform 

 glands, anastomosing with each other, and having a general tendency 

 to a longitudinal direction, with shallow furrows between, lubricated 

 with a watery mucus, and susceptible of contractions which produce a 

 slow, undulatory motion, like the flowing of water, over the whole sur- 

 face. Foot whitish, extending a little beyond the mantle posteriorly, 

 showing a whitish, flattened border. Orifice of the organs of genera- 

 ation on the right side, at a little distance behind and below the eye- 

 peduncles. Kespiratory orifice large, on the right side, one-fourth of an 

 inch behind the origin of the eye-peduncle ; anal orifice in close contact, a

From Canada to Texas and Florida; a species of the Eastern Prov-
