INVERTEBRATE ANIMALS OF VINEYARD SOUND, ETC. GG7 



MoNTAGUA GouLDii Verrill, sp. iiov. 



Body elongated, rather sleuder ; foot with the anterior angles only 

 slightly prominent, and obtusely rounded; posteriorly it tapers gradu- 

 ally to an elongated slender point. Tentacles long, slender, not serrate, 

 the dorsal ones a little longer than the oral ; eyes small, black ; branchial 

 papillie fusiform, moderately stout, grouped in eight or more trauverse 

 rows on each side, the rows being grouped two by two, so as to form 

 transverse clusters, with two rows each, the rows of the clusters being- 

 separated by spaces narrower than those between the clusters. Color 

 of body light yellow or tinged with pale orange; tentacles pale orange, 

 with a flake-white stripe on the posterior surface ; branchial papilke 

 dark brown or reddish brown internally, with a ring of opaque white 

 close to the tips. 



Length about 20™'". 



Oft' Thimble Island, in 4 too fathoms, with the preceding species. 



This is nearly allied to M. Mananemls Stimpson, but the angles of the 

 foot are less produced and not acute, and the proportions of the tenta- 

 cles are different. Dr. Gould seems to have confounded this species 

 with M. diversa [^l^olis diversa Couth.), and one of his figures (Plate 

 19, fig. 280) apparently represents this species ; but certainly does not 

 represent M. diversa, which wa« originally xlescribed and figured as hav- 

 ing the oral tentacles longer than the dorsals (See Gould's figs. 2G7, 268, 

 copied from Couthouy.)
