The animals of this subdivision live in homes of their own 
Construction. This species makes one by collecting stray material 
round some chosen nook, which it binds together with an ox- 
<luisitely delicate web. AVe have not been able to discover how 
this web is secreted, whether by the mouth or some special 
Organ. 
It is tolerably common in a few fathoms of water or on shores, 
^ut the first we ever saw were dredged in Plymouth Sound ; of 
raore brilliant a colour than any paint we could prepare to repre- 
sent it.
