NUDIBRANCHIA
159. Hermtea dendritica,
Species a little over inch in length,
the general colour varying from seaweed
green to orange. There is only one
pair of tentacles, and they are char-
acteristic of the genus, being folded
lengthwise. The papillae are rather long
and overhang the sides and middle of the
back, giving to the animal a shaggy appear-
ance. Further characteristic of the species
is the dentritic veining, of a deeper colour,
which runs down each side of the back
supplying offshoots to the tentacles and
papillae, the veins being more or less reticu-
lated. The animal has a habit of con-
tracting the head and tail, and in that
condition much resembles a young specimen
of the anemone Actinia mesembryanthemum,
the papillae representing the tentacles of the
anemone. This species is decidedly rare.
It occurred at Hastings during a rather hot
summer, upon rocks at low spring tides,
but has not been observed since. It is very
difficult to detect. Hastings.

EoLIDID-ffi
1 60. Eohs papit/osa, Linnaeus.
A fine species, and one that is always in
summer to be found on our coast. Length,
about 2 inches. The body is flesh-
coloured, powdered with opaque white ; the
papillae, which well clothe the sides, are
somewhat lanceolate in form and are usually
of a seaweed green finely speckled with
opaque white. The colours however run
through many gradations, as is seen in years
of great abundance, when all shades of
grey, green, orange, brown and brown-
purple make their appearance. Habitat,
along the shore under stones and crawling
upon mud and sand. Common. Hastings.
161. /Eo/idel/a alden, (?) Cocks (? glauca).
A single specimen taken upon Lepralia
foliacea from moderately deep water appears
almost intermediate in character between
this species and olidella glauca. In
form perhaps the specimen approaches
nearer to /E. a/deri, but in colouring, size
and habitat approximates to /E. glauca.
Length of specimen i inch, extending
when crawling to i^ inches. The papillae
are neither ' vermicular ' nor ' clavate,'
but are thickest at about the middle,
slightly conical at the apex, where there
is in many cases a small pimple-like in-
flation of the outer membrane. Under
magnification the internal gland is of a
seaweed green-brown, the sheath and apex
being pellucid white superficially and inde-
finedly banded with opaque sage-green
paling to white, with a glow of orange
upon the upper portions. The papillae of
the front row are semi-transparent white.
The oral tentacles are a little longer than
the dorsal ones, and are lightly tinged with
orange ; the latter are linear and obtuse at
the apex and of a bright orange colour
tipped with white. The tail is short and
not very pointed. From the veil, and ex-
tending midway down the back, the colour
is a bright orange, paling towards the middle
of the back. Hastings.
162. Cuthona aurantiaca, Alder and Han-
cock.
Animal ^ inch in length. The papillae
are rather long ; gland of a rosy orange
colour finely granulated with red. The
apex and sheath are semi-opaque blue-
white ; below the apex and internally
is a zone of opaque white granules ; above
this zone and overlapping it somewhat
is a surface colouring of orange, toning
down to yellow. Of the oral tenta-
cles, the sheath is transparent, colourless,
and the core semi-opaque white, rather
defined. This species bears some resem-
blance to the following species, but may be
distinguished by the absence of foot pro-
cesses, and by the presence of an orange-
coloured zone near the apex of the papillae.
Upon water-logged timber ; trawled ; rare.
Hastings.
163. Cratena conanna, Alder and Hancock.
Length of specimen inch. The
papillae are often carried bent ; they have
a sheath of blue-green or bottle-green,
the gland being orange coloured, or brown-
ish-orange speckled with dark brown ; but
very characteristic is a crown around the
apex, formed of linear opaque white gran-
ules, arranged perpendicularly to the surface.
These are generally very strongly marked,
but are occasionally absent, or nearly so.
The foot has two blunt processes. Rare.
Hastings.
164. Tergipes despectus, Johnston.
This little species is barely inch in
length, and when met with cannot be
confounded with any other. The body
is semi-transparent white, with a tinge
of red in front of and behind the
dorsal tentacles. Upon either side of the
back and arising from a central vessel are
three or four club-shaped papillae, with
glands of a mottled seaweed-green colour,
and apices of opaque white. The only
habitat is upon shore hydroids, particularly
Obelia gelatinosa and 0. geniculata, where it
will probably be first detected by the little
globular masses containing the eggs which
are deposited upon the stems. It may be
noted that the papillae of this little creature,
when gliding over the stems of the hydroid,
bear a striking resemblance to the egg cap-
sules of the latter, and hence may reap
some immunity from danger. During
some years this species is very plentiful.
Hastings.
165. Galmna cingulata, Alder and Han-
cock.
Animal inch in length, long and
slender and with very tapering tail. The
character of the papillae in this species
has very faithfully suggested a comparison
to the quills of the ' fretful porcupine.'
In the Hastings specimens there are eight
rows of papillae, each papilla having three
surface bands of a marbled seaweed-green
colour ; above these is one of opaque white.
102
MARINE ZOOLOGY
The gland is foliated and of an opaque
whitish yellow, and somewhat granular.
The papillae when observed were slightly
contracted, and in that condition, which
appeared to be more or less normal, they
became slightly constricted at each band,
thus giving an undulating outline to the
papillae ; the reason for this lay in the fact
that the internal gland was narrower at
those points. The dorsal tentacles are
almost twice the length of the oral ones ;
they are long and linear and with obtuse
tips, the latter being transparent white
with a band of opaque white below, and
about midway down there is a patch of
seaweed-green colour. In 1900 about half
a dozen specimens were taken upon Plum-
ularia pinnata, to which had been attached
about a dozen of their egg-bands. In the
next year two more specimens, together
with Data coronata, were taken at low
water, upon Obelia /ongissima. In the
former instance the resemblance of the
papillae to the egg capsules of the hydroid
was rather striking. Rare. Hastings.
1 66. Galvina tricolor, Forbes.
Length of specimen i inch. General
appearance : animal of a pale orange or buff
colour ; papillae inflated and pointed, those
in the front half or two-thirds of the body
being tipped with orange ; the hinder
papillae also being orange-tipped, and in
addition speckled with dark brown. The
dorsal tentacles are colourless and have
obscure internal lines of opaque white
running down each, to bulbous bases and
the eyes. Tail colourless. Closer ex-
amination of a papilla shows a constric-
tion near the end, the end portion being
divided into three zones of colour ; that
nearest the constriction is opaque white
with brown-black spots, the next is of
orange or pale yellow, and the one at the
apex colourless and transparent ; the lower
portion of the papilla is semi-opaque white,
a deeply lobed gland of a pale straw colour
being occasionally seen, which sends a
single straight stem-like lobe to the apex.
A single specimen trawled from moderately
deep water. Rare. Hastings.
167. Corypbella rufibrancbiahs, Johnston.
Eolis pe/lucida, Alder and Hancock.
Eolh gracifis, Alder and Hancock.
Length of animal, i^ inches ; body
semi-transparent white. The papillae are
rather long and linear, the apex is pellu-
cid white, below which is nearly always
a ring of opaque white, of a granular
character, and internal. The sheath is
transparent colourless, and the gland of
a bright orange-red or coral colour, un-
even in outline, squared at the top and
leaving only a small margin of the sheath
showing. The dorsal tentacles are wrinkled
and have a faint tinge of orange, the tips
being granulated with opaque white ; they
area little longer than the oral OPJS, which
are also tipped with opaque white granules
upon the inner and upper side ; the foot
processes are long. In March 1897 an
abnormally coloured specimen was obtained
from the coralline zone. In this speci-
men the veil, both pairs of tentacles, and
the upper side of the end of the tail were
coloured a beautiful mauve violet, excepting
the apices of the tentacles which were
opaque white. Some of the papillae also
partook somewhat of the mauve colour.
Since the above date another specimen
taken upon the shore (not its usual habitat)
showed the same tendency towards mauve
colouring. The deep-water form is much
longer, and has papillae more filamentous
than the variety from shallower water.
Habitat from moderately shallow water to
the coralline zone. Occasionally plentiful.
Hastings.
168. Coryphella landsburgi, Alder and Han-
cock.
The length of this beautiful little
creature is not much more than % inch.
Animal in part colourless, semi-transpar-
ent, but coloured along the sides of the
body, the papillae and their bases, and
over the head and hinder part of the
body, with light violet or mauve. Looked
at more closely, the central gland is
orange, the sheath of a light violet, and
there is a band or patch of opaque white
near the apex. Both pairs of tentacles are
violet for one-third of the way up them,
the upper part being transparent white,
with a slight patch of opaque white at the
apex ; foot processes moderately long.
Trawled half a mile from shore upon
flustra, where it was only detected by its
colour. Rare. Hastings.
169. Facellna coronata, Forbes and Goodsir.
In summer this gorgeously coloured
species is always more or less with us.
The length is i inches ; the body is

core varies in colour from light to dark
orange or red-brown ; the sheath is pellu-
cid grey, with an irregular splash of very

opaque white around the apex, with spots

mon. Hastings.
170. Facelma drummondi, Thompson.
Animal inch in length ; body trans-
lucent, of a faint rose colour ; back, pale
salmon. The dorsal tentacles have from
twenty to thirty laminae, are blunt at the
apex which is of a pale orange tint, the
tentacle itself being rose-orange and having
in front a narrow patch of granular, opales-
cent white, extending one third of the way
down ; there are also spots of a similar
character between and in front of the ten-
tacles. The oral tentacles are a trifle
longer and more pointed than the dorsal
ones, and somewhat similarly coloured. As
regards papillae, notes are unfortunately
deficient. Obtained from shrimp trawler.
