Oral lobes highly developed. Eyes deeeply sunk beneath 
the integument and situated some distance apart, immediately 
behind the tentacles ; they are, however, often scarcely 
discernible. Branchial papillce in five transverse rows, two 
on each side ; but in the adult generally three in each fascicu- 
lus of the second row, and rarely three in the first. In the 
form figured by Meyer and Mobius there are three papillae in 
first and second fasciculus and four in the third ; but the 
additional papilla? beyond the primary two are not one third 
the size of these. Colour transparent white, antero-dorsal 
region usually more or less sprinkled with minute ramifying 
pigment-cells of a blackish hue, which occasionally also extend 
over the papillae. Length two tenths to three tenths of an 
inch. 
Feeding on Cordylophora lacustris, which lives on the sub- 
merged timber-balks at the Victoria Docks, London, where 
the water contains about one third of the saline constituents of 
pure sea-water. Spawn masses of an irregular oval form.
