154 DOLABELLA. 
It is extremely doubtful whether Doris verrucosa Gmel. was based 
on this species; a reference to Rumphius inclines me to think it was 
a warty rather than filamentous species. The figure in Rumphius. 
does not represent it. 
D. reREMIDI Rang. PI. 68, figs. 9, 10, 11. 
Length 13:1 em. Very wide posteriorly, narrowed in front; 
dorsal slit more anterior than in most species, its margins thin, more 
easily separated ; tentacles arising close to each other. Surface 
bristling with moderately long pointed tubercular processes; ridge 
bounding the large posterior disk somewhat fringe1; excurrent. 
siphon quite long. 
Greenish, spotted with black, fawn and white, the white spots: 
forming circles more or less complete; mantle sky blue; gills a 
delicate rose color. 
Shell resembling that of D. rumphii, but more lengthened and 
narrower, the cuticle thicker and browner. Length 51 mill.

This species is evidently most nearly allied to D. hasseltiz; but 
apparently is smaller, with more anterior dorsal slit, and compara- 
tively larger shell. It is used for food by the natives of the Society 
Islands. Deshayes’ identification of it from Bourbon requires con- 
firmation. 
D. HASSELTII Férussac. PI. 64, fig. 3. 
Length 19 em. Body much swollen behind, tailless. Dorsal 
slit long, continued much in front of the middle of the animal’s 
length. Posterior disk very large, bounded by a conspicuously 
fringed ridge. Entire surface bearing long foliated fleshy processes. 
Green, closely dappled with large brown spots, blackish in the 
middle, and often with some pale and black dots. Shell unknown.
