They are possessed of sharp points

If you examine these barbed bristles
you will be at once reminded of our
famous quill pig, the porcupine.
The sea-mouse is from to s
inches long and quite broad in the
middle, tapering slightly to a point.
Many who have found them in the
mud below tide-mark or stranded
upon the beach after a storm have
given to them the name of paddle
worms" because of their leaf-like
cirri, and the clever way they use
them in locomotion.
The head is rather long and bears
four pairs of short tentacles as we'll
as eight long ones. The body is
rather long, too, and depressed. The
average length of sea-mice where
food is abundant Is 8 to 10 inches.
However, some extremely handsome
bright green ones have been re-
corded of much greater length.
These mice have no economic i'm
portance. They are among the
many interesting inhabitants of the
mud below tide-mark and offer end
