ENDEAVOUR SCIENTIFIC RESULTS. 



figure, and, except possibly for the posterior region, has given 

 a sufficiently true interpretation so that " bones " of the 

 species should not go unrecognised. 



Specimen E2455 I at first classified offhand with S. 

 dannevigi, but am now inclined to think it merely a more than 

 usually short and wide hedleyi. Specimen E3609, from deeper 

 water by far than any of the others, is even more doubtfully 

 identified. 



The body of one specimen [S.S.B. 507] shows considerable 

 trace of colour in places — the grayish ground color being 

 overlaid with an iridescent blue, showing tints of green, the 

 whole spotted and mottled with warm sienna brown. 



The species is gratefully dedicated to that master student 

 of Australian Mollusca, Mr. Charles Hedley. 



Sepia dannevigi, sp. nov. 

 (Plate Ixiii ; Plate Ixxiv., figs. 1-2.) 

 Body rather wide and short, much flattened dorso-ventrally ; 

 breadth about 66% of the length, the widest point at about 

 the anterior third ; mantle margin with a broad, conspicuous, 

 dorsal rostrum and a slight emargination below the funnel. 

 Fins narrow, not quite reaching either the mantle margin or 

 the posterior tip of the body. Funnel moderately long, 

 reaching about two -thirds the distance from its posterior 

 margin to the cleft between the ventral arms ; interior 

 furnished with a conspicuous, flap-like valve. Funnel organ 

 not sufficiently distinguishable for description in specimen 

 opened.
