lamellated, pubescent. Oral tentacles not observed. Branchiae 

 10 or 12 ; small, of a sap green colour, bipinnated. Foot

Doris Spongiosa. Kel 



Semi-gelatinous. Body nearly 3| inches long. Mantle 

 broad, oval, covering the foot in all parts ; of a dull yellow 

 brown colour, deeply pitted ; margin of pits granular ; cavities 

 spongious. The whole upper surface of mantle looks like 

 the surface of some species of sponge. Beneath of a darker 

 yellow brown colour. Dorsal tentacles large, with slightly 

 truncated, laminated apex, sheaths large, funnel shaped ; 

 granular. Oral tentacles (?) Branchial plumes 5, grey, 

 drooping much ; bipinnated. Foot broad, long. 



This very curiously formed Doris is found in deep water in the 

 Inner Harbour. The young may be mistaken for a distinct 

 species, from the lateral cavities or pits being deeper. The 

 whole animal is nearly the size of Doris exanthemata.
