Fiona nobilis Alder and Han, 
British Nud. Moll., Atolidsw, Fam. 3, pl. 388A. 
A large and handsome Fiona, apparently this species, was 
found in two instances, in large numbers, on pieces of floating 
timber, among Anatifers, at stations 985 and 995. They were 
kept in confinement several days and laid numerous clusters of 
eggs. These are in the form of a broad ribbon, spirally coiled 
in about one and a half turns, so to form a bell-shaped or cup- 
shaped form, and attached by a slender pedicel, so as to hang 
from the under sides of objects. Alder and Hancock recorded 
its occurrence, in a single instance, at Falmouth, England.
