various organs are fresh and strong, whereas in other cases they 

 may have dried up or decayed. The verge is armed with numerous 

 small spines of very variable shape, simple, bifid and trifid. From 

 the genital mass to the tail extends on each side a long, ramified, 

 almost ai-borescent gland, distinctly visible through the trans- 

 parent body- wall with which it is united. 



Trevelyana bicolor (?), (Plate IV. figs. 1 a-1 c.)

 pi. xxix. figs. 11, 12,] 



The single specimen, which was captured at Prison Island, 

 Zanzibar, was 20 millimetres long, with a very long narrow foot, 

 tapering to a point posteriorly. The whole animal was white, 

 with projecting spots of bright yellow. The tips of the rhino- 

 jihores and edges of the gills were also bright yellow. The liver 

 showed thi-ough the dorsal integuments as a black mass before 

 and behind the branchiae, and in front of it were seen the yellow 

 reproductive oi-gans. The branchiae were simple and leaf-like and 

 shrunk together when touched. 



The presei'ved specimen is contracted into a spheiical shape, 

 showing no ti'ace of the raised spots or of a mantle-mai'gin. 

 The head-parts are much retracted and distorted, but the anterior 

 margin of the foot seems to have been deeply grooved. The 

 colou.r is white, but the black liver is still conspicuous. The 

 twelve branchiae are set in a complete circle. 



The I'adula consists of 26 rows, the widest of which contain 

 24 closely packed teeth. The fiist lateral is large and hamate and 

 the next much like it. The other teeth are rather stout, of the 

 bradawl shape oi- slightly curved. In the pharynx were found the 

 remains of a small tectibranch, which, to judge from its radula 

 and stomach-plates, was probably Ati/s. 



I think this form is probably A. & H.'s T. bicolor. Their 

 desci'iption was made from the drawing which they reprodvice 

 and they saw no specimen. The bicoloration there depicted was 

 probably due to the liver being seen through the integuments, for 

 though the picture certainly suggests a black patch on the skin, 

 it will be seen that this patch occupies exactly the position of the 

 liver, and that it bears yellow spots like the white part. It is 

 also possible that Riippell and Leuckart's T. imjyudica is identical 

 with this form. They describe it (Neue wirbellose Thiere des 

 rothen Meers, p. 33) " coi'pore dilute lacteo ; tentaculis superi- 

 oribus, maculis ocellisque dorsalibus, branchiis pedisque limbo 

 aurantiacis; dorso tuberculato ; branchiis 12 medium dorsi versus 

 sitis ; pallio indistincto."

This genus is allied to Trecelyana, but both internally and 

 externally can be readilv distinguished from it. The coloration is
