NUDIBRANCHIA 

 Herm^id^ 



159. Hermaa dendritica. 



Species a little over \ inch in length, 

 the general colour varying from seaweed 

 green to orange. There is only one 

 pair of tentacles, and they are char- 

 acteristic of the genus, being folded 

 lengthwise. The papillae are rather long 

 and overhang the sides and middle of the 

 back, giving to the animal a shaggy appear- 

 ance. Further characteristic of the species 

 is the dentritic veining, of a deeper colour, 

 which runs down each side of the back 

 supplying offshoots to the tentacles and 

 papilla, the veins being more or less reticu- 

 lated. The animal has a habit of con- 

 tracting the head and tail, and in that 

 condition much resembles a young specimen 

 of the anemone Actinia mesemhryanthemum, 

 the papillae representing the tentacles of the 

 anemone. This species is decidedly rare. 

 It occurred at Hastings during a rather hot 

 summer, upon rocks at low spring tides, 

 but has not been observed since. It is very 

 difficult to detect. Hastings.
