Color a redd'sh-fawu, coaiNely and ohliqnely Teticulattd with flate-co.'nrcd , forming areol?B, -which are indented at, the sides, when viewed by a magnifier, so as to resemble leaflets; the mantle is concentrically mottled with slate-color, and th« projecting border of the foot is also obliquely lineated. The body is rather depressed, nearly uniform throughout, and somewhat truncated at the tip, exhibiting a con- spicuous pit, which was probably occupied, by a mucus gland. The mantle is very long, smooth, and has the respiratory orifice very small, situated a little in front of the middle. The eye-peduncles are small and short. Length, ™"'.
