254 Rev. Dr Fleming’s Gleanings of Natural History, §c. 
of Montagu must be regarded as an independent species. Along 
with Chiton ruber the Ch. marymatus and cinereus were rather 
common. 
When on board, I trawled up, by means of a grapple, some 
splendid examples of Laminaria saccharina and bulbosa , along 
with several marine animals of the rarer kinds. A single spe- 
cimen of the Terebraiula aurita (which I have described and 
figured in my Philosophy of Zoology, vol. ii. p. 498, PI. iv. f. 5. 
where Stornaway is, by mistake, marked as the habitat, instead 
of Ullapool) here found, was peculiarly gratifying, as con- 
stituting the third brachiopodous bivalve which I have had the 
good fortune to add to the British Fauna. I likewise found 
the Murex reticulatus , Nerila pattidula , Cardium fasciatum , 
Venus virginea and pullastra , and Patella hungarica, of Tes- 
tacea Britannica. A single specimen of the Tritonia arborescens 
occurred. Asterias fragilis , aculeata , purpurea and glacialis 
seemed to be common. A fragment of one arm of the latter of 
these was found in progress of forming a mouth and new rays. 
Its appearance was indeed singular, and for some time puzzling. 
The Amphitrite ventilabrum of Sowerby’s British Miscellany, 
and a Nereis , probably the pinnata of Zook Dan. Tab. xxix. 
Fig. 1-3. were likewise procured. Some boys in a boat alongside, 
who were fishing whitings, caught a crested-blenny ( Blennius 
Galerita ), an occurrence which they stated to be frequent. 
We left Lochbroom on the morning of the 17th, on our re- 
turn to Scalpa, which we reached on the morning of the 18th. 
In the stomach of cod-fish (often a rich storehouse for the zoolo- 
gist), taken in the channel, besides abundance of Asterias fragi- 
lis and aculeata, the following crustaceous animals occurred. 
Portunus puber , the Cancer velutinus of Pennant, very com- 
mon in the Hebrides, and known by the term Kesliokcrupen 
Gonoplax angulatus , — Cancer asper of Pennant, which had been 
dressed with fragments of the smaller fuci, — Galathea strigosa, 
and Nephrops Norvegicus. 
( To be concluded in our next Number.)
