in some measure the false impressions liable to be pro-

but which certainly cannot be referred to the species as

ing on the Manx coast in September ; and it would be worth 
while to examine that prolific locality afresh for the animal, 
which will probably prove an unnamed species. “ The 
body is cylindrical, of a reddish, or reddish white colour, 
regularly and ?a\Ay striated longitudinally and transversely,
