The animal, which was otherwise well preserved had unfortunately lost all its 

 ilargei dorsal papillae, with the only exception of three. 



The colour of the soft, living animal is stated to have been brown, passing in 

 spirit almost instantly into green. Kept in spirit its colour was greenish white, but every- 

 where covered with very fine white dots, which were especially close-standing at and 

 round the papulae of the skin; on the sides of the body as also on the large dorsal 

 papillae lepinotidiai scattered brown papula were round; 'lie inside of the cowl and the 

 sole of the foot had no dots. — The length of the animal was 6 e ™, by a height of the 

 body of up to l'S ™, and a breadth at the back anteriorly of l cm ; the length of the head 

 was lo™ 111 , by a height of 9 mm . and a breadth of up to la"™: the height of the rhino- 

 phores was 4 1 ™ 1 ; the length of the innermost cirrhi of the margin of the cowl w r as up to 

 g-gmin. tø e height of the largest preserved dorsal papillae was là™ 111 , by a breadth of 9 mm , 

 and a thickness of up to é™", at the base of the tail one more was found of a height of 

 '." |:: - r -: anteriorly the foot projected freely to a length of S'S™™, the breadth of the sole was 

 T™™, of which breadth almost B 1 ™ on either side belonged to the foot-brim ; the length 

 of the tail ibehind the large dorsal papillae) was 7°™. 



With regard to the form of the body this species agrees with other Mdibes. 

 The cowl-shaped head had the common size, and was by a constriction separated from 

 the body. The edge 1 ) of the head is rather thin above and almost smooth ifig. 6| ; its 

 other parts, however, are thick, inwardly somewhat refolded or convoluted, and provided 

 with several, mostly perhaps about 5. close-set series of cirrhi. which are displaced among 

 each other: these cirrhi are conical, somewhat constricted at the base, the innermost ones 

 are the larger, towards the outside they decrease regularly in length. The inside of the 

 cowl was smooth, only towards the oral aperture, and quite into it, it was closely covered 

 with fine tubercles. The outside of the head was covered with similar tubercles and papulae 

 as those of the back; behind its middle was found on either side, and somewhat to the 

 side, the rather high rhinophore, which was on the outside like the vicinity, above it 

 was spread in a somewhat cup-like way and hollowed, with indented edge; from the bottom 

 rises the beautiful club with about 10 leaves and a small terminal papilla. — The body 

 which is upon the whole soft, was rather compressed. The back was longitudinally only 

 little arched, rather flat, on it was found scattered everywhere small rounded papulae and 

 globular small papillae set with fine tubercles. The lateral edges of the back seem to have 

 been provided with 5 — 6 large dorsal papillae set at rather regular distances, and in the 

 intervals between these papillae sometimes smaller ones of a height of 2 — ^ mm . The large 



') The rather broad notch of the upper edge can scarcely have heen produced by mutilation, as it is 

 too regular, and the edge with the cirrhi tapered on either side towards this notch.
