Because of the large number of other species common to both 

 regions, the identity of the Japanese race with typical A. argo from 

 the Mediterranean is here assumed, although the fact still remains 

 to be definitely established.

 ranean, and Indian Oceans.

 Ocythoe tuberculata Wi'ilker, 1910, p. 1. 



The Tremoctopus doderleini of Ortmann, which is obviously not 

 a Tremoctopus in the accepted sense of the term, is said by Wiilker 

 to be identical with the common Mediterranean O. tuberculata. The 

 reported dispersal of the species is somewhat peculiar and indicates 

 that it will eventually prove to be nearly cosmopolitan. 



Distribution. — Bay of Tokio (Ortmann); near Misaki, Sagami 

 (Wiilker); near Aburatsubo, Sagami (Wi'ilker). Mediterranean 

 Sea; Vineyard Sound, Massachusetts (Verrill); West Indies (fide 

 Verrill).
