206 PLEUROBRANCHUS. 
Pleurobranchus angasi KE. A. Smrru, Zool. Coll. “Alert,” p. 88, pl. 
6, f. kK (1884). 
This may be the P. delicatus of Pease, but there appear to be 
certain differences in the shells of the two forms which may be of 
specific value. (Sm.). 
P. onnatus Cheeseman. PI. 47, figs. 22, 23. 
Body 3-4 inches long, broadly elliptical, depressed, nearly equally 
rounded at both ends, color varying from pale buff to a clear red- 
dish brown, with irregularly disposed blotches of a rich, dark red- 
brown; mantle large, extending over and concealing both head and 
foot, quite smooth, margin thin, entire; dorsal tentacles short, stout, 
abruptly truncate, finely transversely wrinkled, approximate at 
their origin, but gradually diverging at their apices; color reddish- 
brown tipped with white; eye-specks black, placed a little distance 
behind the tentacles, embedded in the integument, but appearing 
through it; oral tentacles united in front by a thin semicircular ex- 
pansion which forms a veil concealing the mouth, and which is car- 
ried in advance of the foot; mouth roundish, with fleshy lips; buc- 
eal plates two, regularly reticulated; odontophore with numerous 
rows of similar unciform teeth. Branchial plume placed in the 
groove between the foot and the mantle, very large, composed of 
about 22-24 pectinations; foot oblong, thin and flexible, pale waxy 
white. 
Shell internal 2 to # inch long, squarish oblong, thin and mem- 
branous, semitransparent, slightly iridescent, closely marked with 
somewhat irregular concentric strie or folds; color varying from 
nearly white to pale pinkish or tawny brown. Spire minute, ob- 
scure, mouth occupying the whole of the under surface ( Cheesem.). 
Auckland Harbor, New Zealand, under stones between tide marks ; 
also near Waiwera and in Hauraki Gulf (Cheeseman).

P. cornuTUS Quoy & Gaimard. PI. 23, figs. 28, 29, 30, 31, 32. 
A very small, ovate species, remarkable for the strong anterior 
sinus of the dorsal shield, out of which the two tentacles pass. The 
left tentacle is longer, but this seems to be accidental. The veil 
forms two diverging horn-like processes; mouth projecting, foot sur-
