in 1000, while Limapontia occurs in nearly fresh water at Bornholm
and Gothland.
Their food varies greatly. As a rule, they are frugivorous, but many
cases of carnivorous habit occur. Scaphander has been seen to
swallow Dentalium six at a time, and in six hours the shells of all
were reduced to tiny fragments. Glaucus devours the soft portions of
the pelagic Porpita and Velella; Idalia elegans eats its way into the
test of Ascidians, and completely buries itself in the body of its prey.
