The hectocotylus in the male specimen closely resembles 
Joubin’s (1897, p. 101) description of the modified arm in I. japo- 
nica, Vil., e.g., ‘‘Une membrane demi-circulaire, en forme de C, 
entoure un tubercule median.’’ 
Such of the tentacular rings as are in a favourable position 
for examination show ten or eleven blunt teeth which seem to 
extend round the entire ring. What appear to be papillae are also 
present in the guise of small, pointed between-teeth. 
Some of the differences between this species and the last 
mentioned have been already pointed out.
