3. Kors minor.—Plate XLIV. Figs. 6, 7. 
Length seven lines ; breadth a line and a half. Head rounded in 
front, with two obtuse tentacula, shorter than the cornicula. At the 
external base of each of the latter, a black eye, very distinct. Back bare, 
bordered by several bunches of branchiz ; about four being on the shoulder 
bunches: lower down the branchie are single, cylindrical, and obtuse, 
with a dark circle near the summit. They curve over the back. Colour 
universally mottled grey or dingy white ; on the skin are scanty white 
specks. 
Only a single specimen occurred, near the Isle of May ; probably 
young. It seemed full of ova, but died in a day or two.

4. Kouts pEAvRATA—The Gilded Doris.—Plate XLIV. Figs. 8, 9, 10. 
Length above six lines ; breadth above one. Body lanceolate, slen- 
der ; front of it semicircular: shoulders broadening into two processes, 
somewhat obtuse. Tentacula and cornicula curving outwards. Two very 
black specks on theneck. Nine rows of ellipsoidal branchial papillse cross 
the back, which is otherwise bare ; they decrease in length and in number 
as approaching the posterior extremity, so that only astump is next to it. 
The body is green, the papillz purple, tipped with golden yellow. 
This is a beautiful animal, abounding in vivid colours, agreeably 
contrasted. 
Specimens have spawned in October and November. The spawn 
green, and consisting of two elliptical volutes, of confused form, is com- 
posed of pale green ova, amidst albuminous matter.
