 TABLE XXV.— MEASUREMENTS OF Polypus variolaius. 



* Estimated. 



Remarks. — The " Endeavour " collection contains a large 

 series of the remarkably handsome Polypus, to which I here^ 

 apply, with considerable hesitation, the name variolaius. 

 They are very surely referable to the rr^ce which has generally 

 passed vmder the name hoscii in the literature, but it is 

 evident th?.t this old \v^,n\e of Lesueur can have no standing..
