Calocarxs Macandrei, Bell. (Plate VIII. fig. 4.) — Of 
a very thin structure, its texture being slight and flexible. 
"When alive it is of a delicate pink or pale rose ; the whole 
of the feet and other appendages are hairy. 
Pound by Mr. M 'Andrew in Loch Pyne and the Mull 
of Galloway; and subsequently, when dredging in the Firth 
of Forth, in 1851, he got a quantity of haddocks, the sto- 
mach and intestines of one of which were filled with it. He 
found it also in the Isle of Skye and off Mull. The Rev. G. 
Gordon (' Zoologist/ 8684) found it in the stomachs of 
haddocks taken in the Moray Firth. Mr. Thompson had 
got the hands in the stomach of a flat-fish off the Irish 
coast. Professor Bell remarks that Mr. M 'Andrew and 
the late Professor Forbes '' have completely established the 
• remarkable fact, that it occasionally inhabits a depth of no 
less than one hundred and eighty fathoms, in which situa- 
tion it is fossorial in sandy mud. Now it is clear that at 
such a depth, and of fossorial habits too, distinct vision 
would be useless and unavailing ; and this at once accounts 
i for the rudimentary character of the eyes, which are entirely 
white.”
