NO. 1996. fiOME NEW HAWAIIAN CEPHAL0P0D8— BERRY. 565 



pressed nor so closely palisaded as the latter. Tentacles of variable 

 length; inner aspect of club of a villous appearance due to the 

 exceeding minuteness of the numerous long-pediceled suckers which 

 it bears. 



Type.— Cht. No. 214380, U.S.N.M. [S. S. B. 320]. From Albatross 

 station 3905, off the island of Molokai. 



Length (total), 63 mm.; length of mantle (dorsal), 25 mm. 



E. scolopes is a near ally of E. stenodactyla (Grant), but differs in the 

 details of the hectocotylized arm and other secondary sexual char-, 

 acters in the male. 



TELEOTEUTHIS COMPACTA, new species. 



Small; mantle nearly cylindrical, ending posteriorly in an acute 

 point. Fins enormous, broadly sagittate; their total width about 

 equal to the length of the mantle; length a Httle more than half that 

 of the mantle. 



Head squarish, narrower than the body; eyes little prominent. 



Arms short, stout, their order of length 3, 2,4, 1 ; suckers in two 

 widely interspaced rows; umbrella wanting. Tentacles httle longer 

 than the arms; clubs not tliickened and bearing four series of aceta- 

 bula, those of the medio-ventral series being transformed to hooks; 

 the latter 10-11 in number, the first 5 quite small, next 3 larger, 

 distal ones diminishing again; the two dorsal rows of suckers irreg- 

 ular, the first 5 pairs small and closely placed, the succeeding ones 

 slightly larger and more distant, becoming smaller again distally; 

 those of the inner dorsal row persist to the tip of the club, but the 

 marginal series becomes obsolete distally and comprises only about 

 8 suckers; suckers of ventral row exceedingly minute, especially 

 distally where they are placed very far apart; fixing apparatus 

 well developed, comprismg a quadruple series of small suckers and 

 pads m alternation, about 12 of the former to 8 of the latter. 



Type.— Ceit. No. 214381, U.S.N.M. [S. S. B. 238]. From Albatross 

 station 3989, vicinity of the island of Kauai. 



ABRALIA TRIGONURA, new species. 



Mantle short, wide and inflated in front, tapering to a point pos- 

 teriorly. Fins large, a little over half as long as the mantle. 



Head small; eyes large and prominent. 



Arms over two-thirds as long as the body; nearly equal, but the 

 dorsal pair distinctly the shortest; each bears two rows of small 

 alternating hooks, succeeded by suckers at the extremities. 



Structure of tentacles unknown. 



Buccal membrane papillose and uniformly pale within; its outer 

 surface dotted with small reddish chromatophores.
