and between the suckers over the oral faces of the arms, but 

 in all these regions the papillse are much more weakly devel- 

 oped than dorsally, become more numerous and crowded, and 

 are less chstinctly stellate (cf. PI. Ixxx.). The large ? figured 

 (E6061) is a most beautifully preserved specimen and truly 

 handsome. 



For the specimens listed in synonymy the relative length 

 of the arms is variously given, but in the " Endeavour " 

 specimens, unless mutilated or indifferently preserved, the 

 formula is quite constantly 4, 3, 2, I. This in spite of the 

 fact that the differences between the arms are nowhere very 

 great and might conceivably be overbalanced at times by 

 irregularities in the degree of contraction. In the cJ* the 

 10th- 14th suckers on all the arms show more or less enlarge- 

 ment (PI. Ixxxi., fig. 3), except on the ventral pair, where it 

 seems to be the llth-14th. 



The very large and powerful hectocotylus (PI. Ixxxii., fig. 1) 

 does not seem to have been previously figured. 



The funnel organ (PI. Ixxxi., fig. 2) is duplex. Each com- 

 ponent is V-shaped, with broad wings and a more or less 

 rounded posterior angle. 



An illustration of the radula is given in Fig. 63.

The specimens listed in Table XXVI. are either too young 

 or too poorly preserved to be accurately determined at this 

 time as to species, though most of them should very probably 

 be referred to P. variolatus.
