CEPHALOPODS OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 



105 



Ranges and means of measurements given above are : 



Females 



Males 



Type. — Calcutta Museum. 



Type locality. — Andaman Sea. 



Discussion. — I have referred the present specimens to Abralia 

 andamanica Goodrich. Comparison with Goodrich's description and 

 figures convinces me that they are conspecific. The few comparable 

 measurements which Goodrich gave also are within the range of the 

 present series. It appears that andamanica may be separable into 

 several subspecies throughout its range, with one form occurring in 

 Japan and another in the Hawaiian Islands. 



DiSTEiBUTioN. — Andaman Sea (Goodrich); Japan (Sasaki); Ha- 

 waiian Islands; Philippines!
