The test. FIG. 29.—Tentacles of dona fascicularis. Highly magnified. (PI. XXII, fig. 1) is so perfectly transparent that the reticulations of the branchial sac are visible through it. The atrial tube is placed a short way down the ventral margin, and is only slightly produced. The lower enlarged extremity is rounded, and for a little way up is covered with numerous, rather long, cylindrical papillae; the rest of the surface is perfectly smooth and is very soft throughout; it is quite devoid of colour except at the apertures, which are slightly tinged with yellow, and the viscera impart a yellow hue, particularly to the lower part. The vascular ramifi- cations are confined to the inferior extremity, and penetrate the external papillae. The mantle (PI. XXII, figs. 2-4) is excessively delicate, very transparent, and tinged slightly with.
