The Scottish Nudibranch Site has been updated with additions and no 'unknowns' thanks to all the help from the folks out there.
Big thanks to all who have helped. I hope to be back with more 'unknowns' and others next spring.

In February, Jim Anderson sent a query about two unknown aeolids he has on his Scottish Nudibranchs Site.
It remains unanswered. Can anyone give any comments on these two species?

NOTE ADDED SEPT 16 1999: Bernard Picton has identified these aeolids as Flabellina browni and Eubranchus farrani

I would like the help of your forum in identifying 2 unidentified species from here.
They can be found on page 2 of my Scottish Nudibranchs website.
TOP: approx. 10mm long and was seen crawling on a kelp frond at 7 metres in NW Scotland.
BOTTOM: approx. 25mm long, on rock at 8 metres on the east coast of Scotland
Kind regards

Firstly congratulations on the beautiful photos in your Scottish Nudibranch Site. I am sure someone can help you with identifying these two. It's outside my field of expertise but I wouldn't mind betting that at least the top one is a species of Eubranchus. The swollen cerata are fairly characteristic of the genus.
Bill Rudman.
