Body oblong, rounded behind, united to the head by a broad 

 cervical band ; a linear cartilage on each side, in the base of 

 the siphuncle. Fins oblong, on the sides of the back. — Head 

 moderate. Eyes large, lateral. — Sessile arms subulate, roundish, 

 elongated, tapering, free, except the third and fourth pairs, 

 which are united together by a short web. Cups very small, 

 globular, two-rowed, longly pedunculated ; peduncles suddenly 

 contracted, very thin near the cup. Tentacular arms destroyed ? 



— Siphuncle very large, long, free from the head. — Shell ? 



or none. 



Is this the same as, or allied to, Rossia subulata ? but the cups 

 are said to be supported on a short pedicel ; has that species a 

 cervical band ? for the bone is described as like Sepiola.
