few minute white spots on the sides, instead of being of a uniform colour. 

 Specimens of A. depilans, which I have often taken (but never of so 

 small a size), differ in being occasionally spotted as well as plain. But 

 I have never met with this species of the same form as A. nexa, of its 

 fine deep red colour, nor having any black border to the mantle, &c. ; nor 

 has Dr. J. L. Drummond ever done so, though great numbers came under 

 his examination when dredging at Donaghadee, on the coast of Down, in 

 the summer of 1843. Hab. Belfast Bay, Ireland.*
