Oblong-ovate, pitcliy, covered with a dense reddish-brown 

 tomenturn ; prothorax with three transversely placed tubercles 

 on the middle of its disk ; elytra strongly punctato-striate, the 

 alternate interstices dark brown, with a few white hairs dis- 

 persed in spots, the third interstice from the suture with three 

 dense fascicles of dark-brown hairs ; eyes, mandibles, and an- 

 tennae black, the latter with their joints from the fourth to the 

 eighth white at the apex, the ninth entirely white, except at 

 its apex; legs and beneath brown varied with greyish. Length 

 8 lines. 



The preceding notes having been extended to beyond what 

 was originally contemplated, the species described have been 

 placed without any regard to their natural affinities : there are 

 still, however, many forms, particularly in the extensive private 

 collections of Mr. AV^allace, quite as remarkable as any yet pub- 

 lished, besides a number of species referable to genera which I 

 have here sought to establish*. 



The following are represented on the two Plates : — 

 Plate I. Hucus melanostoma, Mycteis marginicollis, Ethneca 

 Bakewellii, Plinthcna luciicosa, Nessia didyma, Esoctis lachry- 

 mans, Dysnos auricomus, Apateaia viduata, Misthosima mera, 

 Hypseus fascicularis, Phaeochrotes porcellus, Eczesaris atomaria,

My dredging labours in Weymouth Bay have again been rewarded 

 by tlic ac(juisition of two new species of the Nudibranchs, and by 

 the rediscovery of one of Montagu's lost sj)ecios. This last acqnisi-
