scuta are strongly concentrically ribbed and have a deep, median 

 radial sulcus. The base is calcareous, but thin. The color is pure 

 white.

Loligo Pealei (Lesueur) Bv. Squid. 



Loligo Pealei Verrill, Annual Report U. S. Fish Corn, for 1879 [pp. 132-161], 

 plates xxvi to xxxii, 1882 ; Verrill, these Trans., vol. v, 1879, pp. 308-340, 

 pi. xxix, figs. 1-4, pi. xxxvii, figs. 1-3, pi. xxxix, fig. 4 ; pi. xl ; pi. xlv, 

 figs. 3, 4. 



A single specimen of this species, about 6 inches long, was found 

 floating and nearly dead at Long Bird Island, near the shore, April, 

 1901. 



Ommastreph.es Bartramii (Les.) D'Orb. Flying Squid. 



Sthenoteuthis Bartramii Verrill, these Trans., v, pp. 223,288, 1881; Annual 

 Report IT. S. Fish Com. for 1879 [pp. 112-114], 1882. 



I was told by the fishermen that schools of the flying squid 

 ( 0. Bartramii) are often seen, and that it is sometimes used for 

 bait. 



In this connection, it is of much interest to record that among 

 large numbers of the shells of Spirida Peronii, cast up on the beach 

 at Elbow Bay, March 10th, several were found by A. H. Verrill with 

 portions of the flesh still attached. Two of these were preserved in 

 formalin, with the remnants of the animal. This proves that this 

 species lives not far away from that shore, and it may be abundant 

 just outside the reefs, in rather deep water.
