some fine specimens, as well as for a knowledge of its spawn, which is deposited in the
months of June and July on the under side of stones, forming a spiral riband of two
volutions.
The skin is well supplied with spicula, resembling in form those of G. nodosa, but
rather more bent and nodulous.
This species is rather inactive in its habits, though occasionally it crawls about pretty
freely, and frequently swims inverted on the surface of the water in the usual manner.
