DORIS PLANATA.
This Doris cannot be confounded with any other known British species. Perhaps its
nearest ally is the Doris testudinaria of the Mediterranean. The individual from which
our drawings were taken was dredged on a scallop bed in shallow water in Lamlash Bay, and
occupied the interior of an old shell of Pecten opercularis. The spicula were not examined,
as we were unwilling to destroy our single specimen for that purpose.
