This beautiful little species is found occasionally in the Frith of Forth ; and is very common 
in some parts of the southern coast of Devon, where it is taken by dredging in deep water. 
The fingers are generally annulated with red and whitish, and the back is not unfrequently 
ornamented with a red streak or spot.
