Berry states that the umbrella is ‘‘ lacking or at best rudi- 
mentary between the dorsal arms.’’ In the present specimens a 
delicate web extends to the third or fifth sucker between these 
arms. The hectocotylus in both males agrees with Berry’s des- 
cription. In specimen M £18 enlarged suckers appear on the third 
and fourth right arms, and in specimen M **£°on the third right 
and fourth left. Many suckers are missing from the other arms of 
both specimens. The enlarged suckers occur on the two ventral 
rows as noted by Berry. The principal measurements are appen- 
ded :—

This is in such bad condition that it is not possible to say if 
a nuchal commissure was present or if the species was provided 
with a pen. 
The mantle is bell shaped, and the lacerated fins appear to 
have been attached at about the middle portion. ‘The funnel is 
long and its organ consists of two elongate somewhat pyriform 
pads, the narrowest part in each being placed anteriorly. Each 
pad is 10 mm. by 4 mm. in breadth. Eyes very large. First 
pair of arms the shortest, the others semi-equal. ‘The suckers are 
missing but their bases show that they were placed in two rows.
