DURING JULY AND AUGUST, 1907. 233 



In some of the adult specimens the body was brownish and in others 

 of a greenish yellow. 



The specimen from XCIY — 11 had had a number of the papillae 

 torn off, and fresh ones were growing in their places. 



OORYPHELLA GRACILIS (A. & H). 



Voyage XCIV. Station 45. Lat. 53° 22' N. Long. 0" 34f E. 15 fathoms. 



5 specimens. 

 Voyage XCIV. Station 47. Lat. 53° 28f' N. Long. 1° 39' E. 14^ fatlioms. 

 1 specimen. 

 XCIV — 45. Length of specimens, 8, 7, 7, 7, and 6 mm. respectively. 

 Living on Antennularia antenni7ia and Sertularia argenta. 



Agreed in all particulars with Alder and Hancock's description, as 

 also did the specimen from Station 47, which, however, was living 

 upon Tubularia larnyx. 



CORYPHELLA LINEATA (Loven). 



West of Brucey's Garden. 40 fathoms. 3 

 23. Whitby Outer Rough. 36 fathoms. 7 



Whitby Grounds. 34 fatlioms. 6 specimens. 

 Off Hartlepool. 30 fatlioms. 1 specimen. 

 N. of Hartlepool. A few specimens. 

 Lat 55° 21' K Long. 1° 10' W. 45 fathoms. 

 3 specimens. 

 The colour of the papillae varies somewhat in shade, lighter or 

 darker chestnut-red or carmine ; the white tips also may be either 

 well demarcated, narrower or wider, or may be continued downwards 

 for a little way in streaks and blotches. 



The papillae arise from or about two lateral transparent ridges, which 

 are more prominent in some individuals than others ; the first pair of 

 clusters are much the largest, and are somewhat compressed and taper 

 rapidly to the tip. 



The posterior portion of the foot is broad, and capable of consider- 

 able expansion ; the animal attaches itself by this, the rest of the 

 body swinging freely in the water (as in many other species). It can 

 also crawl on the surface film. 



The radula agrees with the figure and description of Alder and 

 Hancock. 



The food of the species appears to be Tubularia indivisa and T. 

 larnyx.
