When the body is thus distended the papileæ, with which it is covered become stiff, the above mentioned tentacula on the head, being excepted. The animal being so much buoyed up, the branchial openings are out of water, but a stream regularly flowed out of them which was as

At Bahia Blanca where they are extremely unfrequent within thirty miles of the coast, I saw one day the tracks of thirty or forty which had come in a direct line to a muddy salt water creek.
