APPENDIX. No. IV. 411 
Genus IIT. Lotico. The characters presented by three new species, are very 
different from those observed in the Loligines of the European seas. The 
distal suckers of the larger or supplementary arms, are produced into hooked 
processes, and in two of them all the suckers of the shorter arms are formed in 
the same manner.* 
Sp. 1. Loligo Banksii. Shorter arms with globose simple suckers, the fins 
forming, by their union, a rhomboidal figure. 
Oss. 'The colour of this, when alive, is pale flesh. The body is yellowish 
behind, sprinkled irregularly with blackish spots teinted with purple. 
The external aspect of the arms is freckled with purplish. The under 
parts of the fins without spots. One specimen was taken in the Gulph 
of Guinea. 
Sp. 2. Loligo leptura. Shorter arms with hooks on their suckers, longer arms 
with free hooks on the distal suckers, tail abrupt and slender. 
Oxs. The body and external aspects of the arms are smooth, with a few 
tubercles arranged into longitudinal lines. ‘Tiwo were taken in 1, 8, 0 
N. lat. 7, 26, 30 E. long. 
Sp. 3. Loligo Smithit. Shorter arms with hooks on their suckers, larger arms 
with the hooks of the distal suckers furnished anteriorly with a membrane, 
tail gradually attenuated. 
Oss. Body and arms externally tuberculated; the tubercles purple with 
white lips, and arranged into longitudinal lines. 
Prenopropa.t 
Of this division of the molluscous tribe of animals, two species of Peron’s 
genus Cleodora were taken in south lat. 2, 14, 0 E. long. 9, 55, 15, and S. 
* In the museum of the College of Surgeons is preserved part of the arm of a large 
and unknown animal of this class, in which the suckers are all furnished with distinct 
strong and free hooks. 
+ Of the genus Frroxa (whose sitnation has not yet been satisfactorily ascertained, 
but which, with Cuvier, lam disposed to consider as more nearly allied to the Gasrz- 
ropopA, than to any other class) a new species was found in S. lat. 3, 15, 0, E. long. 
9,38, 0, viz. Firola arcuata, Dorsal fin simple, vermiform appendage none, tail arched 
above, without any vermiform appendage. Two other species were sketched by Lieut. 
Hawkey, but were not received,
