amounts to sixteen, among which are found some 

 of very fine and unknown forms. Most of them 

 belong to the well-known species Cirrhatulus, Are-

 surface of the water in the middle of the bav, 

 which measured two feet in length, and one inch in 

 thickness ; the appendages at its sides resemble 

 round leaves. An Aphrodita several inches long, 

 and very narrow, was not rare. An animal resem-

 only half a line thick ; on the upper surface, half 

 an inch from the edge, are two projecting eyes ; 

 and in the same part, on the surface beneath, the 

 mouth may be perceived ; in the middle of this 

 under surface is another aperture, from which the 

 animal, when in a tranquil state, frequently strethes

 Planarice, crawls very nimbly. Besides these, a small 

 Onichidium, and a new kind of shelled snail. 



In the mossy woods live a large, yellowish, 

 black-spotted Limax, and two Helices of middling 

 size. In the bay itself are found a few of the gilled
