294 Dr. E. F. Kelaart on new species of Ceylonese MoUusca. 



Doris Gleniei, Kel.

 shorter than foot ; above white, with a pinkish-yellow shade ; 

 a large, irregularly waved, deep-golden-coloured patch on the 

 back, bordered and spotted with purplish red. The under 

 surface of fore part of mantle of a beautiful light purple co- 

 lour; there is also a purple line on each side of the white 

 body. Dorsal tentacles white, with golden- coloured laminae, 

 long, conical, and pointed. Oral tentacles short, white.

 white, bordered with golden yellow. Foot pinkish white; 

 edge pure white. 



This beautiful species I have named after my friend the Rev. 

 Owen Glenie, Colonial Chajdain of Trincomalee, who was often 

 the cheerful companion of my zoological pursuits, and who will, 

 I hope, on my departure from the island, continue those re- 

 searches which he has so well begun. 



This is, perhaps, next to Trevelyana Ceylonica ('Annals,^ ser. 3. 

 vol. i. p. 257) and Doris gloriosa, the most remarkably coloured 

 species in Ceylon. Found in the Inner Harbour, in deep water, 

 as also at Cottiar, opposite Fort Frederick.

 more distinctly with the aid of a magnifier. Dorsal tentacles 

 green, large, broad, ovate, lamellatcd for nearly the whole 

 length. Oral tentacles short, linear, acutely pointed. Bran- 

 chial plumes six, grey, speckled with darker grey ; all united
