MOLPADIA, sp. ? 
A specimen from Cottesloe Beach [No. 233 (2983)] is in such 
poor condition that its identification is impossible, but the stout 
calcareous ring with comparatively short posterior prolongations 
on the radial pieces is suggestive of Molpadia rather than Caudina, 
and the fifteen tentacles and absence of tube-feed, taken in connec- 
tion with its general appearance, show that it is certainly a mol- 
padid. The tail is missing : the remaining body measures about 
40 mm. long by 17 in diameter.

Plate XXV. 
Tentacles 10, large and arborescent, the two ventral ones much 
smaller than the other eight. Calcareous ring only moderately 
stout, about 3-4 mm. broad (high), with no posterior prolongations, 
Polian vessel single, rather large and nearly spherical. Stone-canal 
single, in the dorsal mesentery. Genital glands unbranched, 40-50 
mm. long, in a thick tuft on each side of the mesentery, near the 
middle of the body cavity. Respiratory trees short, but well- 
developed and much branched. Ambulacral appendages nearly 
or quite confined to the ventral ambulacra; each of these ambulacra at 
the middle of the body carries about eight longitudinal series of well- 
formed, rather large pedicels, the entire band being about 10 mm. 
wide. As the ends of the body are approached, the series of
