 siderable numbers, during the season of 1881, off Martha's Vineyard, 

 in 153 to 458 fathoms. The eggs were taken in August and Septem- 

 ber, containing large embi'yos. These eggs were laid in the oscules 

 of sponges, and are scarcely distinguishable fiotn those of R. Hyatti.

Heteroteuthis tenera A'erriii. (See p. 357.) 



During the dredging season of 1881, this species was again taken 

 in many localities, off Martha's Vineyard, in 45 to 182 fathoms. 



The eggs of this species, containing, in some instances, embryos 

 so far developed as to permit specific determination, have been taken 

 in many localities, in 65 to 130 fathoms, by the U. S. Fish Commis- 

 sion, in Augnst and September, associated with the adults. These 

 eggs were particularly abundant at stations 865-867, 872, 873, 874, 

 in 1880; and at stations 922, 940, 949, in 1881. Some of those taken 

 in August are nearly ready to hatch, while others, taken as late as 

 September, are freshly laid. The eggs are directly and firmly
