 Doris oblonga, Aid. and Hanc., in Ann. Nat. Hist., v. 16. p. 314. 

 Hab. In deepish water off Berry Head, Tc-rbay, J. A. 



Body about half an inch long, slender, oblong-ovate, tapering behind, rather convex in 

 the middle of the back and flattish at the sides. Cloak pale straw-coloured, freckled and 

 spotted with umbre-brown ; densely spiculose, and covered with moderately-sized, conical, 

 spiculose, pointed papilla?. Dorsal tentacles yellowish, without sheaths, rather thick, and very 

 finely laminated, ending in an obtuse point. Branchial plumes about seven, pinnate, non- 

 retractile, yellowish white, moderately long, and not much spreading. They are surrounded 

 by a circle of large tubercles. Head furnished with a large semicircular veil. Foot rather 

 narrow, nearly straight and slightly notched in the centre in front, tapering to an obtuse 

 point, which does not extend beyond the cloak, behind. 



We know of no other Doris with which this species can be readily confounded. It was 

 obtained by dredging at the same time and place with the last, but was in a sickly state, and 

 died soon after it was brought on shore.
