These specimens agree in some pomts with Berry's description 

 of E. scolopes, but the proximal suckers of the hectocotylized arm 

 are much fewer than given by him, numbering only 23-27, and the 

 nipple-like protuberances (Berry's modified papillae) of the arm are 

 less modified, often revealing the appearance of ordinary suckers. 

 In the males from Hakodate Bay, the three ventral arms resemble 

 those of the male described by Berry in having about ten conspicu- 

 ous suckers in the ventral marginal row; this seems, however, to be a 

 case of abnormality.
