 Hab. Under stones and in crevices of rocks between tide-marks, common. 



Body two or three inches long, but occasionally reaching to four or even five inches ;■* 

 breadth about half the length; of an elliptical form, nearly equally rounded at both 

 ends. The colour is generally a lemon-yellow or buff-orange ; but it is frequently variegated 

 on the upper side with blotches of sage-green, pink, and grayish brown. It sometimes 

 occurs of a very light sage colour, almost white, and young individuals may be procured 

 quite white. The markings are also very variable: occasionally they are numerous and 

 large, covering a great portion of the cloak ; at other times they are small, distant, and 

 irregular spots. Full yellow specimens are commonly seen without any markings. Cloak 



* A specimen of this size was got by Mr. Price, in North Wales, in the spring of 1852, and Sir 

 J. G. Dalyell appears to have met with it nearly of the same dimensions.
