 the integument and situated some distance apart, immediately 

 behind the tentacles ; they are, however, often scarcely 

 discernible. Branchial papiillce in five transverse rows, two 

 on each side; but in the adult generally three in each fascicu- 

 lus of the second row, and rarely three in the first. In the 

 form figured by Meyer and Mobius there are three papilla3 in

 additional papilla? beyond the primary two are not one third 

 the size of these. Colour transparent white, antero-dorsal

 pigment-cells of a blackish hue, which occasionally also extend 

 over the papillee. Length two tenths to three tenths of an
