FAMILY CALYPTRIADA — CREPIDULA. 159 
Color. Ashen brown, with spots or stripes of a dark reddish brown ; within dark chesnut ; 
the diaphragm lighter brown and bluish ; the edge white. 
Length, 0°2. Width, 0.1. 
This small species is found attached to seaweed or to stones ; it is not so common as the 
preceding. It occasionally reaches the length of half an inch, but I have never seen it of 
this size on our coast.
