the inside with numerous white filaments .” — <c The animal contracts 
itself into various shapes. It moves the tentacula very quickly, espe- 
cially if muddy water is poured upon it. Although I have kept it 
alive several days, I have never observed it in an upright position. 
It in general hangs downwards, as expressed in the figure, sometimes, 
however, it is nearly horizontal.” Fleming.— “ When at rest, it 
assumes very much the form of a common drinking-glass, and is ex- 
ceedingly conspicuous from its beautiful rose tint.” Templeton.

* George Montagu, Esq. F. L. S. the author of “ Testacea Britannica,” and 
of a much valued Ornithological Dictionary. His contributions to the history 
of invertebrate animals were also numerous, and always interesting : the best, 
perhaps, is his Essay on Sponges in the Wernerian Memoirs. He is often styled 
Colonel Montagu, probably being the commander of some volunteer corps. He 
died at Knowle House, his residence, near Kingsbridge, Devonshire, on June 19, 
1815, in the 76th year of his age, from tetanus produced by a wound in his foot 
from a nail. Annals of Philosophy, vi. p. 77. His collections are now in the 
British Museum. For an estimate of his character see Fleming’s Brit. Animals,
