Greenport, Long Island (Smith). Long Island Sound, off Thimble 

 Islands, 4 to 5 fathoms, among rocks. 



The specimens from Thimble Islands differ somewhat from the original 

 description. They were about half an inch long; moderately stout; 

 the foot lanceolate, rapidly tapered posteriorly to a point, but not pro 

 duced far beyond the branchiae, nor slender-pointed; anteriorly the 

 angles are somewhat produced, triangular, and pointed, their length 

 equal to about half the breadth of the foot. Head rounded ; tentacles 

 rather stout, obtuse ; the oral longer than the dorsal ones ; the latter 

 are transversely wrinkled. The branchial papilla) are fusiform, moder 

 ately stout, obtuse, arranged in about twelve transverse rows on each 

 side, forming six clusters, the two rows forming each cluster separated 

 by a narrow elliptical naked space, narrower than the spaces between 

 the clusters ; in each anterior row there are six or seven papillae, 

 the upper ones larger, the lowest short and blunt. Foot translucent, 

 white, with a flake-white streak on the upper side posteriorly ; body pale 

 yellowish, minutely specked with greenish and flake- white ; back of the 

 dorsal tentacles there is, on each side, an orange patch, and there 

 are others along the back; papilla? dark brown internally, irregu 

 larly specked with flake-white externally, forming toward the end an 

 ill-defined white ring ; the extreme tips are white; tentacles similar in 

 color to the body.
