266 Doris (Archidoris) montereyensis (Cooper) Bergh 
Cooper, Cal ac pr 2:204. 
Pale yellowish with scattered black spots (or entirely brown?), 
mantle rough tuberculate, or nearly smooth, dorsal tentacles 
knob-shaped, branchial rays bipinnate, short, in 8 divisions, form- 
ing a crown-shaped expansion on the posterior third of the dor- 
sum. Foot expanded into broad, thin margin, as wide as the 
mantle. Length 3, breadth 1, height % inch; form elongated 
oval. Dredged in 6-10 fathoms, in Monterey bay, California, ad- 
hering to fragments of sandstone. Dr. Frick found small speci- 
mens, apparently the same, in San Francisco bay, California. 
Santa Barbara at low water, larger in size and deeper color; 
tentacles club-shaped, the branchial 7-8-parted, bipinnate and 
from one opening. 
Orcutt, No. 19 (young fide Dall), from San Diego, appears de- 
scribed among my notes as follows:—-animal translucent white, 
an inch or less long, the back of mantle liberally sprinkled with 
irregular dots and blotches of brownish black which are most 
conspicuous just behind the tentacles, near the center of the back, 
and just forward of the branchie. 
267 Doris alabastrina Cooper Cal ac pr 2:204 
§Asteronotus? ‘‘Alabaster white, opaque, form depressed- 
oval; dorsal tentacles short, acute, branchiz of 12 simple rays 
expanding in the posterior fifth of the body. Length 4-tenths, 
breadth 3-tenths inch. Under stones, San Diego bay, only one 
found.”’ 
268 Doris albopunctata Cooper Cal ac pr 3:58 (1863) 
“Form ovate, pointed behind, flattened, surface shining, mi- 
nutely rugose. Tentacles club-shaped, retractile, branchial plume 
6-8-parted, bipinnately divided, situated near the posterior ex- 
tremity. Color yellow or orange brown, dorsal surface thinly 
speckled with small white dots, each forming a slightly raised 
papilla. Beneath paler. Length about 1, breadth one-third inch. 
Dredged from a rocky bottom in 20 fathoms a mile from the shore 
at Santa Barbara. Also found on rocks at low water mark near 
the N. W. end of Catalina Island. Bolinas bay. 
Orcutt No. 25, San Diego. 
269 Doris (Diaulula) sandiegensis (Cp) Bergh 
J. G. Cooper, Cal ac pr 2:204. 
Pale brownish yellow, with large annular brown spots irreg- 
ularly scattered, varying from 10-20, or entirely brown. Surface 
slightly rough, sometimes a little tuberculate. Dorsal tentacles 
conical, retractile; branchie large, rising in 5 parts which become 
tripinnately divided, expanding so as to cover the posterior one- 
third of the body like an umbrella. Mouth proboscidiform, with 
2 short lateral tentacles. Length 3%, breadth 2%, height % 
inch. Numerous among sea-grass on mud flats in San Diego bay, 
Cal., from November to May. 
Among my notes I find:—‘‘animal dirty white, % inch long; 
mantle with 5-10 or more circles of dark brown irregularly placed 
along the edge of the thick mantle.’’—Orcutt, number 23, from 
San Diego, identified by Dall as this species. 
Cooper doubtfully placed in the section Actinocyclus, and has 
reported 2 specimens from Santa Barbara, with tentacles conical, 
acute, and states that the branchial orifice does not agree with the 
“peculiar characters of Actironotus.’’ Bolinas bay.
