INVERTEBRATE ANIMALS OF VINEYARD SOUND, ETC. bod 



posterior borders well rounded, and the side a little convex, narrowing 

 to an obtuse point at the anterior end ; sometimes oblong or elliptical, 

 and but little narrowed anteriorly ; the posterior emargination is usually 

 very distinct, often deep, and sometimes in contraction has a small pro- 

 jecting angular point in the middle, but at times the emargination nearly 

 disappears. Ocelli in four groups, near the anterior end ; the two posterior 

 clusters are smaller than the anterior and wider apart ; the anterior 

 clusters are very near the others, and close together, almost blending 

 on the median line, and are composed of numerous very minute crowded 

 ocelli, less distinct than those of the other clusters. Color pale yel- 

 lowish flesh-color, veined with dentritic lines of darker flesh-color, or 

 with whitish ; an indistinct pale reddish spot behind the anterior 

 ocelli ; an interrupted longitudinal whitish stripe in the middle, due to 

 the internal organs, and a small median whitish stripe posteriorly. 



Length, 20 mm to 25 mm ; breadth, 10 mm to 15 mm . 



Off Watch Hill, 4 to 6 fathoms, among rocks and algce; off Block 

 Island, in 29 fathoms ; off Buzzard's Bay, in 25 fathoms. 



Planaria grisea Verrill, sp. nov. (p. 4S7.) 



Body elongated and usually oblong in extension, often long oval or 

 somewhat elliptical, obtusely pointed or rounded posteriorly ; head sub- 

 truncate in front, often a little prominent in the middle ; the angles 

 are somewhat prominent, but not elongated. Ocelli two, black, each sur- 

 rounded by a reniform, white spot. Color yellowish green or grayish, 

 with a central whitish stripe in the middle of the back, surrounded 

 by darker; head margined with whitish.
