shes a Osborn, in the American Naturalist, vol. xv, p. 366, May 
1881, has given an account of the habits of this squid, at Newfoundland, 
and of the methods of capturing it there for bait. 
Enoploteuthis Cookii Owen. (See p. [53].)

? Enoploteuthis Hartingii Verrill, this vol., p. [53], pl. 12, fig. 4; pl. 15, fig. 5, 1880. 
Professor Owen has very recently described in detail, and has given 
excellent figures of most of the existing parts of this large and remark- 
able cephalopod, which have been preserved so long and have so often 
been referred to, but hitherto have never been scientifically described, 
(see p. [53]). It is to be regretted, however, that Professor Owen has 
neither described nor figured the dentition of the radula in a manner to 
enable it to be used as a systematic character. His statement in regard 
to it is of the most general kind, and shows only that there are seven 
rows of teeth. It is also a matter of surprise that he has not compared 
any of the portions described with the corresponding parts of the equally 
large and very closely allied Hnoploteuthis, carefully described and 
figured by Harting in 1861 (see p. [53|), and to which I have given the 
well-merited name, HE. Hartingii. It is not improbable that the two 
forms are really identical, but this cannot be certainly determined from 
the figures, because the corresponding parts are not always represented 
in the same positions, and it is uncertain whether the corresponding arm 
is preserved in the two cases. Harting figures, rather poorly, the teeth 
of the radula, which appear to be very peculiar, if his figure is correct, 
(see my Plate XV, fig. 5, ¢, d). 
The shape of the mandibles appears to be different in the two species, 
however, and the large hooks also differ in form. f
