2. jEolis Murraydna. Murray s 



Body oblong, tapering behind to an obtuse point, convex 

 above, bare along the middle of the back, at its sides continu- 

 ously covered with very large oblongo-conical, round or some- 

 what compressed obtuse branchial papillae, in several series ; 

 head depressed ; upper tentacula conical, obtuse, granulate ; 

 mouth proboscidiform, with a very thick external, circular 

 margin, a very thin inner, and opening by a vertical slit, 

 bounded by two large thin, anteriorly convex, horny plates ; 

 foot oblong, anteriorly abrupt, rounded at the angles, on the 

 margin waved, gradually narrowed, obtuse behind ; the back 

 bluish-white, with the papillae bluish-grey, the upper tentacula 

 rose-red, the mouth reddish-white, the foot white. Length 

 seven-twelfths of an inch. 



Found by Mr. Alexander Murray, in September, 1842, 

 under a stone, on the beach at St. Fergus ; several specimens 

 also sent by him in December. 



In this species the papilla? are larger and more closely set 

 than in ^Solis papillosa, from which it differs further in having 

 the anterior angles of the foot rounded. Not finding a de- 

 scription exactly agreeing with it, I have named it as above. 



3. JEolis Cuvierii. Cuvier's 



Body slender, tapering behind to a fine point, convex above, 

 bare along the middle of the back, at its sides covered with 

 elongated tapering, obtuse papilla?, arranged in transverse 

 series ; head depressed, somewhat truncate ; upper tentacula 

 elongated, subulate; mouth with two long similar tentacula 

 on each side; foot linear-oblong, slightly marginate, its an- 

 terior part acutely biangulate, or extended into tentacula ; 

 upper parts pale purplish or reddish-grey, the branchiae pink ; 

 the tentacula hyaline-white ; the foot reddish-white. Length 

 an inch and a-half. 



Two specimens found by me, in a pool among the rocks, at 

 Collieston, in April, 1842.
