pliididae, and the geuus appropriately named Architeuthis, i. c, chief of 

 the cuttle-fishes. Two of those are recorded as having an extreme 

 length of 52 feet. In one {A. princeps ?) the body from the base of the 

 arms to the tip of the tail was 15 feet long. Another, still larger, was 

 55 feet in extreme length, and its body was 20 feet long. It may be 

 well to add that the large cuttle-fish lately exhibited in New York and 

 through the country was very badly, indeed grotesquely, prepared by 

 the taxidermist, and gave no idea of the real animal.
