Specimen M **°* seems to have a somewhat wider and 
rounder head, and arms shorter in proportion to the length of the 
mantle than the other specimens, but these differences may be 
accounted for by its being at a younger stage of growth or by 
varying modes of preservation. The tentacle stems are evidently 
partly withdrawn. The arm rings of this little specimen are 
armed with fourteen to twenty-four teeth surrounding the entire 
ring, about five-on the distal margin being stouter and longer 
than the rest. A large median tentacular sucker shows eleven 
_ long teeth on the distal portion and the rest of the ring possesses 
much smaller teeth. Conical papillae are present and those near 
the ring sometimes look like small between teeth. The teeth 
are longer in proportion to the size of the ring than in the older 
specimens. 
Colour pinkish-brown with many dark blotches and spots, 
head so densely mottled as to be almost black. 
No chromatophores on ventral surface of fins.
