l.-,s "TERRA NOVA" EXPEDITION. 



near-shaped eggs are very faintly grooved externally, and have an aperture at the free 

 broad cud. N<> anatuiniciil difference seems to exist between this species and M. 

 <-/i<in-<>fi (.loiibin) as regards the alimentary system, gills, venae cavae, and mandibles. 

 The anal apex of the female from Station 355 (Fig. 28) is in very good condition, and 

 shows that the long appendages commonly seen in the Oegopsida and Myopsida are 

 here limited to a short upright projection at each side, between which the ridged 

 internal wall is seen hanging over the edge of the integument in front like a tongue, and 

 the papilla of the ink-gland opening into the dorsal wall is observed to have its aperture 

 slightly above the level of the anal apex. The stomach and crop of this specimen were 

 perfectly empty, as was also the crop of the male of this haul : the stomach of the 

 latter contained some much digested animal remains, and (?) crustacean ova. The 

 radula (Fig. 27) is very like that of J/. cluircufi (Joubin) ; the chief difference seems to 

 be that the base of the first lateral teeth has a wider projection at the side next the 

 median teeth than in that species.

This has a raised ridge on the veutro-lateral margin of body, but 110 ventral 

 furrow. The arms are nearly twice the length of the bod}', and the web extends 

 nearly half the length of the arms. There are about forty-three suckers on the first 

 right arm, and about twenty-five on the third right arm. The heetocotylus is very 

 minute, and as if imperfectly developed. The sperm-canal is well defined. The siphon 

 is somewhat pointed, and reaches less than half-way to umbrella-margin, and the 

 funnel-organ (Fig. 30) consists of two V-shaped pads. Colour buff, with dark purple 

 chromatophores above, and many of a reddish tint on the ventral surface. Large 

 ocular cirri and numerous irregular tubercles are present on {lie dorsal surface. As
