kamtschatica, or the specimen sent me by Miss Massy, is throughout 

 very marked. It should be noted that the gross dimensions of 

 Middendorff's specimen correspond very fairly to those of the indi- 

 viduals before me, so that the differences do not seem explicable 

 on the ground of age. 



Type. — Cat. 2,084 of the Invertebrate Series, Stanford University 

 Collections [S. S. B. 88]. 



Type Locality. — Puget Sound, Washington. 



Whether the young specimens taken by the Albatross are true 

 G. fahricii or a young stage of the present species is still a matter 

 of doubt. 



Onychoteuthis banksii (Leach, 1817) F6russac, 1826. 



This species has recently been obtained off Ne^vi3ort, California 

 (Berry, 1912, p. 83, figs. 44-46). I had previously overlooked the 

 fact that Middendorff (1849, p. 516, pi. 12, fig. A) describes a much 

 smaller specimen from Bering Sea as 0. Bergii Lichtenstein. He also 

 mentions an Octopus (Polypus) from the same region — '^vielleicht 

 Oct. gramdatus Lam'k."
