Two specimens of this species were obtained at the Bahamas, 
both of which were discovered by members of the Laboratory, 
who were engaged in making collections for the University of 
Pennsylvania. Dr. Charles Dolley, who was in charge of the

being white. Disc and tentacles paler brown, the latter being 
whitish at the tips. The disc was transparent, allowing the
