There are also sea-scolopendras, resembling in shape their land
congeners, but somewhat less in regard to magnitude. These creatures
are found in the neighbourhood of rocks; as compared with their land
congeners they are redder in colour, are furnished with feet in
greater numbers and with legs of more delicate structure. And the same
remark applies to them as to the sea-serpents, that they are not found
in very deep water.
