A. M Verrill — North American Cephalopods. 



sion (lot 797) by Captain Chas. Anderson and crew of the schooner 

 " Alice G. Wunson," of Gloucester, Mass. 



The jaws of this were slightly larger than in the one just de- 

 scribed. They agree well in nearly every respect, but the notch at 

 the base of the lower mandible is narrower and the tooth beyond it 

 broad and rounded. 



Measurements of jaws, in millimeters. 



A fifth specimen, received in lot 879, Oct., 1880, consists of two 

 of the sessile arms, but the suckers have lost their horny rings, so 

 that the identification cannot be very positive. The largest arm, 

 which is not quite entire, is 255'""' long, and 23""" in diameter, at the 

 larger end. It was taken from the stomach of a cod, on the Grand 

 Banks, and presented to the U. S. Fish Commission by the Captain 

 and crew of the schooner " Otis P. Lord."
