Excerpt from Nemertinea

Two species probably belonging to the genus Linens, each represented by one specimen only. They are referred to in the sequel as Linens, spp. A ant B.

The material on the whole is very well preserved, and no difficulty, on the ground of preservation, has been experienced in making out microscopic details by means of sections or otherwise. On the other hand, the number of specimens in some cases is so small that it was thought undesirable to dissect them to any great extent, and the accounts given of their structure must be regarded as subject to modification at some future time, when more abundant material may be available.

It is a matter for regret that almost no record appears to have been kept of the colours and markings of the various species during life. The specimens, by the time that they were handed over to me for study, were all, with a very few exceptions which will be mentioned in their appropriate places, deprived of all traces of their natural colours by the spirit in which they had been stored.
