 DOHIS JOHXSTONT. 



I met ynth one speeiineu at Hilbre, 1851. 

 Doris Bilamellata. 



Eocks at Hilbre Island, where the large brown variety is sometimes plentiful. 

 At New Brighton, also, occasionally. A smaller and lighter coloured variety 

 is abundant on the dock wall at Woodside, and along the Cheshire side of the 

 Mersey. 

 Doris Depressa. 



I once met -with a specimen of this small species at Hilbre Island. 

 Doris Proxima. 



This species was extremely common on the shore between Egremont and New 

 Brighton in August this jear. There is an account of it in the "Annals of 

 Natural Histoiy," for August, IfSSi, by Messrs. Alder and Hancock. Mr. 

 Alder, to whom specimens were sent, writes, " it was first tUscovered on 

 Birkenhead shore by Mr. Price. The Doris is so like ' Aspera ' that it 

 requires a critical eye to tlistinguish it, but when the tongue of each is 

 examined they are quite different." AVhite and yellow varieties are met 

 with. I have taken it freely at Hilbre Island also. 

 Doris Pilosa. 



At Hilbre Island, Ciddy Blacks, and other rocky places round our shores. A 

 deep pm-plish black variety has been met with at Hilbre, and I believe also 

 on the Mersey shore. 

 Doris Subquadrata. 



The siugle specimen from which the figure in Alder and Hancock's work was 

 di-awn was taken at Torquay. During a visit to C'ald}- Blacks, Mr. Webster 

 and myself were fortunate enough to find a second, which was sent to 

 Mr. Alder, by whom the species was confirmed ; it was in company with 

 " Doris Pilosa. "

t)ne specinun found at Hilbre by Mr. S. .Arclier. It has also been met with
