The type of this species was dredged in deep water in 
Jervis Bay, New South Wales. Except that the French 
authors describe their species as over two inches in length 
(ours is only 15 mm. long and 6 mm. broad), the original ac- 
count harmonises well with that of South Australian ex- 
amples. The white dots on the back are more regularly dis- 
posed in Quoy & Gaimard's figure, and the foot in South Aus- 
tralian specimens is white ; whereas, in the figure quoted, it 
is red. 
Examples from New South Wales are not accessible to us 
at present, but in view of the close correspondence between 
our material and Quoy & Gaimard's description we are un- 
willing to differentiate our form.

A species has been taken by one of us at Marino, South 
Australia, which, neglecting slight locality variations, must 
be regarded as Angas's Doris carneola. It measures 29 mm. 
in length, 17| in breadth, as against Angas's data of 28 and 
17 mm. respectively. The colouration of one South Austra- 
lian example was identical with that of the Port Jackson 
type, while another individual from Marino had quite a dif- 
ferent colour scheme. It was of a dirty greyish-white on the 
dorsal surface, speckled with silvery-white dots, which were 
connected by a faint network of white lines, the central space 
in the region of the liver appearing pinkish or brown : ven- 
tral surface white. The under side of the mantle of both in- 
dividuals is marked with delicate vein-like, multiple branch- 
ing lines. The mantle is ample, hard, thick, and fortified 
with numerous calc-spicules. The foot is large, and termi- 
nates bluntly. The rhinophores are clavate, with about 10 
laminae ; situated rather far anteriorly : colour yellow or
