IN COUCH'S ZOOPHYTES OF CORNWALL. 177 



He kindly returned it, saying that I ' 'was right." In his descrip- 

 tion of this he notices one got by the Eev. A. M. Norman, in 

 the Minch, Hebrides, it being the first ever got from that 

 locality, and says : — " This is the most northern locality yet 

 recorded." The one got in 1864 must now take place of the 

 Hebridean one, being from Ultima Thule, and so v/xvLch. farther north 

 than it. My specimen is on a small stone, and shows where the 

 expanded sinuous plates had risen up, and been knocked off by 

 the rough treatmeni; it got in the dredge. I hope this will be 

 excused, it not being Cornish ; however, it is interesting to learn 

 that Cornwall is the Eldorado for such splendid examples of this 

 species, and as well shows the dying out of species, when no 

 longer in a suitable element. (C.W.P.)

My first acquaintance with this interesting species was before 

 1849. I got it from a crabbing-boat which had been working off 

 the Deadman, Cornwall ; it was covering a small Nassa, and when 

 first got was a bright red. It is rare, for in five years I got 

 about as many specimens — one a year — all on the little spiral 

 shells of Nassa. (C.W.P.)
