Charles Kingsley163{118} A Naturalist’s Rambles on the Devonshire Coast, p. 110. {121} Balanophyllia regia, Plate V. fig. 1. {126a} Amphidotus cordatus. {126b} Echinus miliaris, Plate VII. {127} See Professor Sedgwick’s last edition of the “Discourses on the Studies of Cambridge.” {129} Fissurella græca, Plate X. fig. 5. {130a} Doris tuberculata and bilineata. {130b} Eolis papi losa. A Doris and an Eolis, though not of these species, are figured in Plate X. {136} Plate III. {138} Certain Parisian zoologists have done me the honour to hint that this description was a play of fancy. I can only answer, that I saw it with my own eyes in my own aquarium. I am not, I hope, in the habit of drawing on my fancy in the presence of infinitely more marvellous Nature. Truth is quite strange enough to be interesting without lies. {139a} Saxicava rugosa, Plate XI. fig. 2. {139b} Plate VIII. represents the common Nassa, with the still more common Littorina littorea, their teeth-studded palates, and the free swimming young of the Nassa.
