Zoologists are indebted to the late Montagu for the discovery of this species, which is 
found in great plenty along the southern coast of Devonshire, in deep water ; and is occasionally 
also found thrown on the shore after long continued storms. 
Females are extremely rare, two full-grown specimens only having been observed amongst 
several hundreds of the male, and these were found by Mr. C. Prideaux and Mr. J. Cranch. 
I have received the young of this species from Mr. Stephenson, of Edinburgh, who obtained 
them from the Bell Rock. 
The legs and arms are beautifully ciliated with testaceous hair, which gives to the animal a 
very handsome appearance.
