§ 6. MISCELLANEOUS. 
The general nature and the history of the preceding five species of 
the Terebella are sufficiently explicit. But several others, apparently 
nearer or more remote kindred species, must be treated with much diffi- 
dence, some from presenting certain anomalies, and others from the rarity 
of their occurrence preventing them from being clearly understood. 
1. TEREBELLA TEXTRIX—The Weaver.—Plate XXVIII. Figs. 15, 
WG Ts TS! 
So few specimens of this animal, presuming it a distinct species, 
have occurred during a long series of years, that I feel considerable em- 
barrassment regarding it. At the same time, it was so long before my 
attention was directed towards it, more may have been in my possession. 
I doubt whether or not I can speak of the adult. 
Length of one specimen six lines, of another nine, of a third twelve. 
The first, had twenty-five tentacula, extending an inch, and a pair of 
ramified red branchiz on each side, with a stump behind each.— 
Plate XXVIII. fig. 15, enlarged. The third species had forty tentacula, 
but these organs totally intercepted the view of the branchie. 
This species constructs a semicylindrical sheath of sandy or muddy 
particles, which is always of insufficient dimensions to cover the body, or
