hind edge of the mantle, the left one bearing a flagellum. The head

 length of the body. 



A. DEPICTA Renier. PI 12, figs. 63-70; pi. 1, fig. 12 (x 7); pi. 13, 

 f. 76, 77. 



Back of the body and outside of pleuropodial lobes chestnut, 

 brown, blue-gray or violet-black, maculated and marbled with 

 white. Head-shield and lateral lobes edged with two narrow stripes, 

 one blue, the other yellow. Head-shield with two short stripes of 

 buff in front. Sole velvety-black or violet-brown, sometimes orna- 

 mented with whitish spots. Gill orange or pale brownish. Posterior 

 lobes of mantle joined, the left one with no flagellum. Length 35-60 

 mill. 



The shell (pi. 12, f. 63, 64, 68, 70 ; pi. 1, f. 12) is not so different 

 from that of A. trieolorata as would be thought from the figures ; 

 but the small spire is more solute, and the projecting process is 

 smaller ; the large thin outer whorl shows 2 or 3 more or less dis- 

 tinctly marked growth-zones; this quite cuticular, pale yellowish 

 part is in some individuals, especially the younger ones, more or 

 less calcified, excepting always the anterior part; in the large indi- 

 viduals it was completely cuticular. Diam. from edge to edge 

 across spire, 7-12 mm. In a large individual, length 55 mill., the 

 the shell measured in greatest length 16 J mill.
