Mr. H. L. Osborn, in the American Naturalist, vol. xv, p. 36G, May 

 1881, has given an account of the habits of this squid, at Newfoundland, 

 and of the methods of capturing it there for bait.

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 Enoploteuthis, carefully described and 

 figured by Harting in 18G1 (see p. [53J), and to which I have given the 

 well-merited name, E. 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, e, d). 



The shape of the mandibles appears to be different in the two species, 

 however, and the large hooks also differ in form.
