I did not examine the smaller one.
Dimensions of the largest: Total length 0.2 inches. Length of feelers 0.15 inches. Of smallest: Total length 0.13 inches. When put into eau-de-cologne these animals changed to a pink colour. June 17.
South latitude 29 degrees 19 minutes; east longitude 40 degrees 19 minutes. Caught a specimen of Glaucus. Total length 0.35 inches. Colour down the back deep indigo blue; stomach bluish white; sides bluish white (silvery) like a frog; tail tapering to a point; its head resembled that of a frog, and when out of the water it sat on its tentaculae, and raised its head and the fore part of its body, moving its head (a) from side to side; the tentaculae were all so delicate that they fell off, it had apparently eight on each extremity; it belonged to the same family as the animal I caught on the 14th of November 1837, in south latitude 29 degrees 26 minutes; east longitude 101 degrees 32 minutes.* (*Footnote.
See Illustration 10 volume 1.) June 23.
