AGLAJA. 47 
This species seems to be variable in coloration like the preceding, 
and even to a greater degree. The snow-white pearl-like spots of 
A. tricolorata which are so conspicuous, seem to be represented in 
this form by more irregular white spots. The posterior wings of the 
mantle have an entirely different form from those of tricolorata, and 
pass into each other bow-like at their bases. There is never a flagel- 
Jum onthe left wing. The shell resembles that of tricolorata, but 
the spire is more free, and the cuticular part of the shell is larger. 
The colors seem to be well retained in alcohol. 
A. cYANEA v. Martens. Unfigured. 
In life uniform blue or with small round yellow spots. Spirit 
examples blackish with pale spots, covered with numerous net-like 
anastomosing wrinkles. 50 mill. long; head-shield 26 mill. long. 
Breadth with parapodia turned up 26, with them spread out 43 
mill. Distinguished from the Mediterranean species by the propor- 
tionally smaller length of the head-shield. (Mart.).
