THE FAUNA OF LIVERPOOL. 



Genus ANTIOPA. 

 Antiopa Hyalina. 



In July, 1851, in company with Mr. Price, we each picked up a specimen of 

 this new species at Hilbre Island. One was sent to Mr. Alder, but did not 

 anive in a living state. In August, this year, I found a very fine one within 

 a few yards of the same locality, which fortunately got into Mr. Alder's 

 possession alive. Messrs. Alder and Hancock's description of the animal, in 

 the " Annals of Natiu'al History," for August, 1854, runs thus, " Pellucid, 

 yellowish, with brown mai'kings down the middle of the back, branchiag 

 elliptical, tuberculated, hyaline, with the central vessel fulvous ; dorsal 

 tentacles obtuse, obscurely laminated, united by a crest ; oral tentacles united 

 by a nan'ow veil." The second specimen, Mr. Alder remarks, " was more 

 mature, and in better condition than the first, and differs from it in the 

 greater length and more pointed character of the dorsal tentacles. The 

 papUloe are much attenuated and elongated above, with the point enlarged 

 and obtuse. The gland is darker and a little Ijranched. The tail is also 

 more produ^ced. Length, |-inch." Mr. Hancock has kindly furnished a 

 draTOng of the animal with his usual high finish and faithfulness of nature, 

 which, it is hoped, wiU be engraved for the present volume.
