Greenport, Long [sland (Smith), Long Island Sound, off Thimble 
Islands, 4 to 5 fathoms, among rocks, 
The specimens from Thimble Islands differ somewhat from the original 
description. They were about half an inch long; modorately stout; 
the foot lanceolate, rapidly tapered posteriorly to a point, but not pro- 
duced far beyond the branchiie, nor slender-pointed ; anteriorly the 
angles are somewhat produced, triangular, and pointed, their length 
equal to about half the breadth of the foot, Tlead rounded ; tentacles 
rather stout, obtuse; the oral longer than the dorsal ones; the latter 
are transversely wrinkled. The branchial papille are fasiform, moder 
ately stout, obtuse, arranged in about twelve Lransverse rows on each 
side, forming six Oluiiahs, the two rows forming each cluster separated 
by a narrow elliptical naked space, narrower than the spaces between 
the clusters; in each anterior row there are six or seven papilhe, 
the upper ones larger, the lowest short and blunt. Foot translucent, 
white, with a flake-white streak on the upper side posteriorly ; body pale 
yellowish, minutely specked with greenish and tlake-white 5 back of the 
dorsal tentacles there is, on cach side, an orange patch, and there 
are others along the back; papilhe dark brown internally, irregu- 
larly specked with fake-white externally, forming Coward the end an 
ill-defined white ring; the extreme tips ave whites tentacles similar in 
color to the body.
