niantle white, sparsely dotted with large and small black spots, 
irregularly spaced; foot rounded in front, sides approximately 
parallel and slightly frilled, ending posteriorly in an obtuse point, 
much narrower than mantle, opaque white, fringed with a deep 
orange-yellow border; dorsal tentacles comparatively small, trun- 
cated, retractile within low slieaths, brown at the summit, tvhite at 
the base; oral tentacles fairly long, linear rounded in front; genital 
aperture inconspicuous, at about the anterior third; branchial 
plumes six. small, black, finely laciniated. Length 45, breadth 
30 mm. (Type locality — 20 fathoms, Antechamber Bay, Kan- 
garoo Island, S. Aust.) The remarkable and artificial appear- 
ance presented b}' the ornamentation of this species resembles 
the hieroglyphic markings of primitive man, and suggests the 
species-name. 
Hypselodoris. Stimpson 1856. Animal oblong, quadrilater- 
al; cloak broad, widely projecting so as to conceal the oral ten- 
tacles anteriorly, and tapering from opposite the branchiae, to a 
blunt point behind, disclosing the foot, which extends further to 
a distance of one-fourth the length of the body. Dorsal tenta- 
euhic elongated, retractile, smooth and glossy to appearance, but 
lutving from twelve to fourteen laminae. Branchiae retractile, 
ccjnsisting of twelve elongated, slinply-pinnate leaflets, which 
ham a cup around the anus. Colour a dark greenish, or yellow- 
ish gre\', with numerous black and yellow dots; a row of black 
spots is conspicuous, margining both the mantle and the foot, 
k^ead and oral tentacles bluish-grc\‘. Dorsal tentacles with red 
tips. Length 1^ inches; breadth 0.3 inch. Found among soft 
sponges in the circumlittoral ;^onc. Llab. Australia, at Port Jack- 
sen. Tvpe — Gonioc/oris ? obscura Stimpson. d he above is Stimp, 
son’s description of the type species. Stimpson further remarks: 
'■This species, with another closely allied an3 occurring in the 
same locality form a genus probably new. It differs from Gon- 
iodoru^ (should be Goniodoris) in having the retractile tentacula, 
and in the greater development of the mantle; and from Doris 
by the elevated, oblong, quadrangular shape of the body. 1 would 
propose for it the name of Hypselodoris G 
H. epicuria. Basedow & Hedley 1905. PI. 2, fig. 14 and 
PL 4, hg. 21. Animal elliptic, oblong, fairly convex, highest in 
region anterior to branchiae; mantle spiculose, of a rich red col- 
our, and covered with numerous silvery-white spiculose elevations, 
of lighter shade, with a single row of dark red dots; foot laterally 
expanded and slit in front, with a median groove, tapering bc- 
liind. border waved, white, with a single row of largish vellow 
dots along tlie upper edge, and the upper surface of the tail with
