The slightest disturbance inducesthese tentacles to withdraw themselves hastily into theirtubular shell, and when they do, the stopper follows, clos-ing the orifice completely, as if with a cork. The Sabellasconstruct their tube of mud. The Gold Comb (Ampki-trile auricoma) is very curious. It corks up like theSerpvlce, but it has scarlet gills just below its cork-likehead, and across the latter article runs an appendage, fromthe color and shape of which it has obtained its title. The Long Worm ; the Sea-Mouse ; the Terebellas ; the Ner-eides ; the Planarice and the Sea-Leech, may be presentedin this company. The Tubularia Indivisa^ of which we give a graphicengraving, is one of the most beautiful objects of theAquarium. It may be procured at Hurlgate, where it isseen grouped in masses of thirty or forty together, upon
