82 TETHYS—ANTILLEAN. 
This form differs from J. willcovi in lacking the characteristic 
pattern of dark marking, and in the longer excision or sinus of the 
shell. The animal colors the alcohol in which it is preserved green. 
The single specimen was found alive at Cape May in October, 1894. 
T. caAILLETI Deshayes. 
Nearly as large as A. depilans. Irregularly marbled with green- 
ish-brown, very sombre, on a ground of white washed with brown- 
reddish ; the free edges of the mantle [swimming lobes] bordered 
with a wide zone of the same color but paler. (Desh., Journ. de 
Conchyl., 1857, p. 140.) 
Guadeloupe (Schramm). 
No other information has been published on this form. 
T. BRASILIANA Rang. PI. 38, figs. 3, 4, 5. 
Length 11 to 13cm. Very much swollen, elongated in front, 
somewhat shortened behind, carrying the mantle far back. Tube of 
the mantle quite ample and conspicuous. Swimming lobes very 
large. Color deep brown.

posterior sinus almost wanting.

Rang’s figures and description which I give above are evidently 
from alcoholic specimens. He writes: Two quite remarkable char- 
acters distinguish A. brasiliana from the other species: first, the 
front part, is much lengthened, and the posterior part is rather 
short; and second, the opercle [mantle] is placed far toward the 
hind end, and consequently obliquely towards the tail. To these 
characters we may add the color of the lobes, which is a dark 
brown, and the form of the posterior tentacles which are perfectly 
conical, while the others are much widened. The lobes are ample 
and long and the opercle quite large. The shell, too, is distinct ; it 
is of an oblong shape, and an obscure-yellow color; its lower sur- 
face is covered by a quite thick calcareous layer, the apex is little 
formed, and there is almost no sinus. The type is Aplysia No. 11, 
of the anatomical cabinet of the Garden of Plants.
