E. Landsburgii, A. & H. in Ann. N. H. 1st ser. xviii. p. 294 ; Brit. Nud. 

 Moll. fam. 3, pi. 20. 



BODY slender, violetcoloured : dorsal tentacles longish, slen- 

 der, and slightly wrinkled, violetcoloured, with white tips: 

 oral tentacles rather longer than the dorsal pair, and of the 

 same colour : head rather narrow : branchial processes elliptical 

 linear, orange-red, with white tips ; set in 5 or 6 clusters : 

 foot with the anterior angles shortish. L. 0*5. 



HABITAT : Within tide-marks and in shallow water on the 

 western shores of England, Wales, and Scotland ; also at Burg- 

 head (Murray) ; [Wey mouth (Gosse)] ; Exmouth (Hincks) ; 

 Channel Isles (Ansted). [Arcachon (Fischer).] This may 

 possibly be the Doris pedata found on the Devonshire coast by 

 Montagu.

E. alba, A. & H. in Ann. N. H. 1st ser. xiii. p. 164 ; Brit. Nud. Moll, 

 fam. 3, pi. 21. 



BODY very slender, white : dorsal tentacles of a blackish- 

 brown colour for about two-thirds up, above which they are 

 white, with a bulbous swelling at a little distance from the apex : 

 oral tentacles long, white, gracefully curved : branchial pro- 

 cesses linear oblong, rather depressed, white, sometimes spotted 

 or ringed with brown, with white tips ; set in 5 or 6 clusters : 

 foot with the anterior angles very long. L. O75. 



HABITAT : On sponges and zoophytes in shallow water and 

 between tide-marks, pretty generally diffused, but not common. 



This elegant species is subject to great variety of colour and 

 markings. The gills are sometimes of a brownish colour, with 

 brown markings on the body ; this variety, which is very 

 rare in Britain, seems to be more plentiful in northern Europe,
