. Natural history. Geology; Zoology; Botany. NOTAEOLIDIA. 21 irregular intervals. In all there are about ninety on each side. They are somewhat wrinkled, and this rugose appearance is increased by their bearing a little white pigment, arranged in irregular lines. In front the side-flaps turn inwards, so that the cerata stand in front of the rhinophores; but they are set distinctly on the flap, and not on the head. Behind, the cerata of the two sides meet at the tip of the tail, the free portion of which is very small and hardly 1 mm. long. The dorsal margin and cerata are irregularly undulated

Behind, the cerata of the two sides meet at the tip of the tail, the free portion of which is very small and hardly 1 mm. long. The dorsal margin and cerata are irregularly undulated. There is no frontal veil, but the region in front of the rhinophores passes directly into two very thick, conical, oral tentacles, 6*5 mm. long, and 5 broad at the base. Between them lies the mouth, which seems small and circular, but is much contracted. The anterior margin of the foot is grooved, and perhaps notched; but this character could not be ascertained with certainty, owing to contraction. The foot is folded inwards, but in a natural condition must have had wide, expanded margins, and have been about 10 mm. broad. The rhinophores, which are set close together, are about 4 • 5 mm. high, and bear fifteen distinct perfoliations. At the base are folds of skin, but not regular pits. The genital orifices are 13 mm., and.
