doubt, perhaps, whether it is the J. elegans of Leuckart. It differs 
from J. aspersa in having five rows of filamentary appendages, as 
well as in their greater length, and in the slender form and un- 
equal length of the branchiew, which in J. aspersa are stout and 
equal, forming a regular rosette. The prevailing colour in this 
genus is red ; our individual was white.

From deep water, rather rare. Whitburn.—Rev. @. C. Abbes. 
From a fishing boat at Newcastle Quay.—Mr. W. King. The 
jaws are somtimes met with in the stomachs of fish caught on the 
coast. Dr. Johnston states that it is not uncommon in Berwick 
Bay. 
We have frequently got a small white Tritonia from the 
fishing boats at Cullercoats and Newbiggin, very like the young. 
of this species, but differing in colour, and never approaching it 
in size. It may possibly be distinct, but we refrain from de- 
scribing it until we are better acquainted with the young of 7. 
Hombergit. We have named it in manuscript 7’. alba. Mr. 
Abbes has sent us the same variety from Whitburn.
