Naked parts of the column weir clear sahnon-colour; no spots on the capitulum, but light lines, due to the mesent- eries: stomodaeum \ni\k: tentacles i)ale salmon, with a darker .sdmon-coloured central line: disk salmon-coloured, no si)ots. Tentacles are about 'Mi, clos(>l\ crowded in two rows, very slender and pointed in extension: length about t-vice the diameter of the disk, more numerous and more slender than usual in tyi)ical specimens of the same size. The epidermal coating o{ the scapus is firm, obscurely 8-grooved, colour dark yellowish brown; length in life about 50 mm.; diameter, ;i mm. These were foimcl imder a stone in a tide-pool, some were lightly attached to small pebbles by the naked aboral end or phym, probably by adhesive mucous. Torrey fop. cit., 1902) has described the structure of this species with good figures. He found as many as 32 small rudimentary mesenteries in a specimen having 2') tentacles (PI. XXM, fig. 9).
