The dried sucker from the tentacular arm appears to have been one 
of the largest (Plate IX, fig. 11). At the present time the transverse 
diameter of the ring, outside, is 28 mm ; diameters of the edge, 24 mm and 
22 mm ; greatest hight of the ring, including denticles, 9.5 mm ; least hight 
on inner side, 6.5 mm . There are forty-eight marginal denticles, which 
are nearly the same in size and form all around. They are narrow, 
triangular, acute, with the edges beveled, sharp, and with a central, 
thickened, triangular ridge on the outside. The ring is white, hard, 
smooth, and osseous in appearance. 
Of the other specimens enumerated in the first part of this paper, it 
is probable, judging from the proportions given, that Xos. 16, 18, and 
19 also belonged to A. princeps. Xos. 18 and 19 appear to have been 
much larger than any of the examples of which portions have been pre¬ 
served, and it was very unfortunate that the persons who secured them 
did not know their value, for they were both found within a few miles of 
the settlement at Little Bay Copper Mine, on the south arm of Xotre 
Dame Bay, and could easily have been taken to Saint John’s.
