Hungry Bay, April 5, 1901, under stones at extreme si^ecimens found together, as if breeding, (A. H. Y.) Dolabrifera virens V., sp. nov. Plate II. Figures 4«, 4&, 5a, 55. Plate IV. Figure Fig. 1.—Dolabrifera virens V. About + natural size. A rather large, yellowish green species, coyered with small, elon-gated, conical, acute or distally branched papillae. Body broad-ovate, broader and well rounded posteriorly ; thewhole upper surface of the body and head is coveied with conicalpai^illse, 1 to 2^™ long, part of which are acute at tip and part aredivided at the end into 2 to 4 small branches. Rhinoi)hores shorterand much smaller than the toitacles, deeply folded and enlarged atthe ends. Tentacles very large, elongated, with broadly expandedends, the edges undulated and thin. Mantle-lobe rather small, nearlysemicircular, leaving a small open sinus at each end of the branchialcavity. Color above, in life, dull yellowish green, with ill-defined blotchesof pale brownish, and with white spots ; the papillae are mosth lighterand more yellow ; margin pale bluish with white specks ; under A. -E.
