clcs about (lie size and form of the dorsals, though capable of con- 

 traction into a blunt knob, and Avith a central opaque-white line. 

 Brancliias slender, nearly linear, varialJe in length, disposed in six

 rows of four papillas each, interior a bright vermilion color with an

Tliis common European species has at last been found 

 on our shores, and an examination of the lingual denti- 

 cles renders us quite certain of its specific identity. At 

 first sight it would not be distinguished from jE. diversa, 

 but a comparison of the tentacles and angles of the foot 

 gives most obvious differences. The description of J^. 

 Mananensis * scarcely differs in terms, as to quite vari- 

 able features. Dr. Loven intimates that this is D. branch- ^. Manan-
