Radula. 
Remarks. —The radula and funnel organ of this species are wholly unlike those of 
any other Moschites known to me. More superficially M. albida appears to show relation¬ 
ship to another smooth deep water species, the M. rotunda of Hoyle, but differs from the 
latter A only in the relatively longer arms, but more strikingly in its pale coloration. 
M. turqueti Joubin seems to be a quite different form from shallow water, and if the 
original specimen was an adult is a much smaller species, well distinguished by its short 
umbrella and crowded suckers. I rather doubt if the affinity here will prove a particularly 
close one. 
The beak of M. albida, as of the remaining species to be dealt with, diverges little 
from the regulation type, but is figured as an admittedly uncertain aid in the detertnina- 
tion of the numerous remains collected from the stomachs of various vertebrates in 
the region. The radula, fortunately, affords us better characters for this purpose.

Description: 
Body rounded, compressed, very short and broad, the width about equaling the 
length of the body and head together ; a longitudinal depression in the median line 
below. Pallial opening very ample, reaching a point just above the base of the eyes 
and well behind the plane of the eye opening.
