Scyllaea pelagica (Linne). 



A single large living specimen of this species was found at Long 

 Bird Island, on the flats, in May. Its color was light orange, with a 

 marginal band of deep orange, edged Avith white around the lateral 

 lobes and along the upper lateral margins of the body ; sides of 

 body were specked with flake-white, but without purple spots. 

 Back of rhinophores deep orange ; edges white.

Plate IV. Figure 6. 



Body, in life, when extended, elongated and rather slender, tapered 

 to an acute point posteriorly. Head large, rounded, with a pair 

 of very long, slender, tapered, acute tentacles. RhinoiDhores much 

 smaller, not half as long, acute, with strong plications on the 

 distal portion, naked near the base. Foot with the anterior angles 

 prolonged into a pair of long, tajaered, tentacle-like organs, more 

 than half as long as the true tentacles and similarly colored. Dorsal 

 papillae numerous, long, very slender, fusiform, acute, easily decidu- 

 ous, arranged in numerous (about 10 to 12) double groups along 

 each side, leaving a broad naked dorsal region. The anterior groups 

 contain numerous crowded papillae, in two or more transverse rows ; 

 the posterior groups gradually diminish till the last contain \qyj few 

 papillae. 



Color of back pale, translucent, grayish white, with a median 

 stripe of white, edged with narrow red lines, and with a lateral stripe 

 of orange on each side along the bases of the papillae, which are 

 white crossed by numerous bands of light rose-red or pink. Head 

 white in front, tinged with pink around the mouth and with a median, 

 usually Y-shaped streak of red on the front and extending between 

 the tentacles, and an ocellated, round, blue spot at the upper base 

 of each tentacle ; back of neck with a median blue streak. Tentacles 

 and tentacular processes of foot white proximally, then with a light 

 red band followed by a wide blue distal band. RhinoiDhores nearly 

 white. Foot edged with blue anteriorly. 



The odontophore has but a single row of teeth ; these hav« broad, 

 thick bases and tapei- rather rapidly to the acute, naked, somewhat 

 incurved tips. There are about 10 to 12 acute serrations on each 

 edge, the distal ones becoming very small. The cutting edges of 

 the jaws are brown and chitons with a submarginal rib ; the two 

 edges form nearly a right angle, when flattened by pressure.
