 very acutely serrate maru'ins. and the small, smooth rimmed

 ones noticed bein^ 1 ( .) feet from the tips. The sessile arms pre-

This is founded on an animal obtained in Is;,.'). l, v Captain 

 Hyu r om. in X. lat. :\l ; \V. loner. 7<> .- It is one of the species 

 contained in a i>roof sheet of a paper intended to be published 

 in the Memoirs of the Copenhagen Academy, hut. which, for 

 some unknown reason, does not appear to have been issued, 

 ustrup furnished to Hartino- a drawing of the lower jaw of 

 this species, which the latter has published under the name o 1 ' 

 .1. dux, Steeustrnp. A pen six feet lonir, and other imi)(>rtant 

 portions of this specimen were secured. The lower jaw is a 

 little larger than that of A. IIKUKK-IHI*. which it resembles; but 

 it is more rounded dorsally, less acute, and scarcely incurved, 

 the notch is narrow, and the alar tooth is not prominent.

\- stated above, the only accessible liinirc of A. Titan is 

 thai, of a jaw published by Hailing, under the name of A. iln.r.. 

 \ am not able to state whether this is an error of Martina's, or 

 whether Steenstrup has used two names for the same spec!, 

 specimen. Steenstrup (in his "Spolia") mentions having the 

 arm-hooks, and if these animals really had hooks, thev will iro 

 into the family Onychoteilthidffi instead of ( )mmast rephida-. 



'./of most writers, however, A. monachus, as shown by 

 Prof. Yen-ill.
