196 PLEUROBRANCHUS. 
Jaws composed of pieces having five denticles on each side of the 
terminal point (pl. 74, fig. 99). Radula with formula 70.0.70, the 
lateral teeth with terminal hooklet but no denticles below it (fig. 97, 
group of median teeth; fig. 98, a large lateral). 
Shell auriculate, the spire a little projecting; solid, thick but 
transparent, of a dull amber-yellow color. 
Alt. 11, diam. 7 mill. ( Vays.).

and Fayal, Azores, in 130 meters (Hirondelle).

The foot is larger than in P. plumula ; there are fewer denticles 
on the plates of the jaws. The shell is solid, calcareous, and pro- 
portionally larger than in any other species except P. membrana- 
ceus, compared to the size of the animal. It is also distinguished 
by the deep orange color of the soft parts. 
P. MoNTEROSATOI Vayssiére. PI. 52, figs. 66,67, 68; pl. 74, fig. 6. 
Body elliptical, oval, swollen; general color rosy ochre-yellow. 
Mantle covering the whole body and emarginate in front, of a deeper 
ochre tint, with large light spots and numerous ochre-brown or 
grayish dots. Buccal veil triangular, the two tubular dorsal tenta- 
cles carried at its base. Foot occupying the entire length of the 
mantle, but a little narrower than the latter. Gill pinnate, folded 
longitudinally, quite long and bearing 24 to 25 pinnules on each 
side. Genital cloaca in front of gill insertion, anus behind. 
Length 55, width 40 mill. 
Jaws composed of chitinous pieces, each with a strong angular 
denticle, without lateral denticles (fig. 6). Radula with the for- 
mula 80.0.80; lateral teeth all alike in form, with a terminal hook 
but no denticles below it, as in P. aurantiacus.
