 Hab. On a Sertularia, dredged in Torbay, /. A. 



Body a quarter of an inch long, rather depressed, broad in front and ending in an obtuse 

 point behind, of a bright yellowish-green, paler towards the head. Dorsal tentacles rather 

 short, subcorneal, smooth, of a greenish white, held nearly erect. Oral tentacles short and 

 thickish, set wide apart on the head, which is broad and rounded in front. BrancHce 

 numerous, rather short, ovate-oblong or sub-clavate, stout, bright bluish-green, paler and 

 yellowish towards the apex, arranged in nine or ten close transverse rows of eight papillae 

 each, nearly covering the back, and coming close to the dorsal tentacles in front : each row is 

 set on a transverse ridge. Foot transparent white, rather broad, with the anterior angles not 

 much produced. 



An individual of this interesting species was obtained by the dredge at Torquay, in 

 September, 1842. It lived only a very short time after its capture, so that a single sketch 

 only could be taken of it.
