Description:
Among a collection of fishes received from a fish dealer, destinated for the Aquarium of the Amsterdam Zoo, Mr. Fr. de Graaf found three nudibranchs. He kindly permitted us to study them alive and afterwards to preserve them in the collections of the Zoological Museum. The specimens were collected in the neighbourhood of Djakarta, Indonesia. Colour paintings were made after the living specimens by our painter Mr. Jos Ruting, who also copied in black and white some drawings \xe2\x80\x94 published before \xe2\x80\x94 for comparison. The Director of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie at Leiden, Prof. Dr. L. D. Brongersma and its Curator for molluscs, Dr. C. O. van Regteren Altena, were so kind to put van Hasselt\xe2\x80\x99s original painting of Doris lineolata at our disposal. This has not been reproduced in BERGH\xe2\x80\x99S paper on van Hasselt\xe2\x80\x99s nudibranchs (1887). It seemed important to show its likeness to Bergh\xe2\x80\x99s Chromodoris lineolata (BERGH, 1905, pl. IV fig. 7) and its differences from Baba\xe2\x80\x99s Glossodoris lineolata (BABA, 1949, pl. XVI fig. 58) here reproduced in black and white in fig. 6.
