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

 fiun. 3, pi. 35. 



BODY yellowish-white or purplish, with orange spots : dor- 

 sal tentacles rather long, white below and orange above : oral 

 tentacles shortish, pale orange: branchial processes ovate-oblong, 

 inflated, yellowish-white, or occasionally lilac on the surface, 

 with the central gland of a pale strawcolour ; the tips have 

 a ring of bright orange ; they are set in 9 or 10 rows : foot 

 nearly linear, with the front angles rounded. L. 0-5. 



HABITAT : Malahide, near Dublin (Alder) ; Burghead (Mur- 

 ray) ; St. Andrews (M'lntosh). [North of France (Quatre- 

 fages, as Amphorina Alberti).'] 



This is rather a rare species. A single individual only was 

 dredged at Malahide, which was nearly colourless, excepting 

 the orange spots and rings ; but several specimens have since 

 been found at Burghead by Mr. Murray with more or less of 

 a purple or lilac hue on the surface. This variety appears to 

 be what is described under the name of E. Andreapolis by Dr. 

 M'lntosh.

 M'lntosh in Proc. E. S. Bdinb. 



BODY rather slender, pellucid orange-red : dorsal tentacles 

 rather long, smooth, orange-red, with yellow tips, having a 

 pale space on each side of the back behind, on which the eyes 

 are placed : oral tentacles a little shorter than the dorsal pair 

 and of the same colour : branchial processes elliptical, inflated, of 

 the same colour as the body, but deeper towards the tips ; the 

 central gland is yellowish ; they are set in 12 or 13 transverse 

 rows : foot tinged with orange-red, truncated in front, with 

 the angles rounded. L. 0-5. 



HABITAT : Dredged in Weymouth Bay [in 6 f., feeding on 

 Plumuluria~] by Mr. Wm. Thompson. The species varies in 

 intensity of colour, the first observed being nearly white. E. 

 Robertiance of Dr. M'lntosh, St. Andrews, is a variety of this.
