ing obtusely or in a somewhat truncated form, obtuse ante- 

 riorly. Back convex, more flat when fully extended. Integ- 

 uments with irregular vermiform glands, anastomosing with 

 each other and having a general longitudinal direction. Man- 

 tle covering the whole body. Foot expanded at its margin, 

 and visible beyond the sides of the mantle; no locomotive 

 disk. Respiratory orifice near the head, some way to the rear 

 of the right eye-peduncle. Anal orifice contiguous to and a 

 little above and in advance of the pulmonary orifice. Orifice 

 of organs of generation behind and below the right eye-pe- 

 duncle. Without terminal mucus pore. No external or internal 

 shell." (W. G. Binney.)* Jaw arched, ends blunt, median pro- 

 jection strong, anterior surface with a carina and either ribbed 

 or striate. Lingual membrane (see below). Pedal grooves 

 present.

Shell: None. 



Animal: With a long, rounded or flattened body, trun- 

 cated anteriorly and obtusely pointed, and somewhat flattened 

 posteriorly; mantle covering the entire body except a small 

 rim on the edge of the foot; color whitish, spotted and clouded 

 with blackish spots which form three scarcely distinguishable 

 longitudinal bands, one in the center and one on either side; 

 the spots are irregular and anastomose with each other in va- 

 rious places along the bands; the lower margin of the mantle 

 is yellowish and the foot is yellowish- white; mouth encircled 

 by a row of papillae; eye-peduncles not long, stout, blackish, 

 eyes situated on the upper part of the bulb-shaped enlarge- 

 ment at their extremity; tentacles short, stout, whitish, more or 

 less conical; the cuticle is beset with numerous vermiform 

 glands which anastomose more or less with each other, and 

 extend in a longitudinal direction. When the animal is in lo- 

 comotion these glands contract and a thin, watery mucus is 

 exuded, giving the surface a glistening, undulatory appearance, 

 which is peculiar to this species. The foot is not very broad 

 and extends a trifle beyond the mantle posteriorly. Genera-
