Patella pulchella, Forbes. (Mag. of Nat. 

 Hist. vol. viii. p. 591. fig- 61.) 



Animal yellowish white, with moderately long 

 tentacula, and the eyes at their external bases ; the 

 cloak spotted with pink at regular intervals, margin 

 entire. Unfortunately I was not aware of the crea- 

 tion of the genus Lottia by Mr. Gray, when I ex- 

 amined the living animal, but from what I could ob- 

 serve of some (bad) specimens in spirits, I believe it 

 to be a true Lottia, and nearly allied to the Patella 

 rubella of Fabricius, the animal of which species^ he 

 says, resembles that of the Patella testudinalis. 



On stones and shells in deep water, at times very 

 common. Never attains one-third the size of Patella 

 tessulata. 



Order. Cirrhobranchia. 



Fam. Dentalidae.
