No. 2310. NEW CEPHALOPODS FROM THE PACIFIC— SASAKI. 193 



part flattened except for a faint broad longitudinal ridge marked 

 off by two shallow grooves on the sides; the post-mesial part char- 

 acteristically elevated into a short but broad ridge. Calcareous depo- 

 sition very thin but considerably extensive so that the naked area is 

 almost obliterated. Ventral surface shallowly concave in the pos- 

 terior parts but convex in the anterior, the convexity equaling that 

 of the dorsal surface in depth; median groove very narrow and 

 shallow especially in the last loculus. The outer cone starts in the 

 vicinity of the anterior end of striated area, forming a part of the 

 margin on both sides of the same area, and abruptly expanded in the 

 posterior parts into a broad cup-shaped cone. Inner cone poorly 

 developed, its rim very thin throughout, without forming any actual 

 cone but a thickened arch overhanging the shallow posterior hollow 

 of the shell. Locular index 42-44. 



Measurements of type: dorsal length of mantle 26 mm.; breadth 

 of same 14 mm; mantle extent before fins 3 mm.; longest arm 9 mm. 



Type.— Cat. No. 332849, U.S.N.M.

Station 4875 (Krusenstern Strait). One male and female. 



Station 4884 (west of Amakusa, Kiushiu). One female. 



Station 4885 (west of Amakusa, Kiushiu). Two specimens. Cat. 

 No. 332839, U.S.N.M. 



Station 4933 (off Satamisaki, Kiushiu). One juv. Cat. No.

Station 5095 (Sagami Sea). One female. Cat. No. 332842, 

 U.S.N.M. 



These specimens agree well with Wiilker's description, but the 

 specimen from the station 4933, which is a young individual of 32 mm. 

 mantle length, has a much wider gladius than the original specimen. 

 This seems, however, due to age and not to difference in species.
