XIV.—WNotes on the Cephalopoda of the Irish Atlantic Slope. 
By Anne L, Massy. 
THe Cephalopoda taken during the course of investigations 
carried out on board the Department’s fishery cruiser ‘ Helga’ 
include two species and a larval form new to the British and 
Irish area, namely :— 
Bathyteuthis abyssicola, Hoyle, a young specimen of which 
occurred at 50° 22’ N., 11° 40’ W., at soundings of 700-750 
fathoms ; Brachioteuthis picta, Chun, an example of which, 
with mantle-length of 88 mm., was taken at 51° 37’ N., 
2P a Wie vat 670-692 Fattoma and, thirdly, the larval 
Ommatostrephid Ehynchoteuthion, with mantle- -length of 
1°50 mm., was taken at 15 fathoms, over soundings of 290 
fathoms. This belongs to the wide-bodied form and closely 
resembles Chun’s * larva from the Bay of Bengal. 
A young specimen of Onychoteuthis banksi (Leach) occurred 
at 51° 7’ N., 11° 35’ 30 W., at. soundings, of, 325-4010 
fathoms, and constitutes the first Irish reeord “of this widely 
distributed species. 
Anexample of Yaontdium pfefferi, Russel], with mantle- 
length of 6 mm., was taken at 51° 54’ N., 11° 47’ W., at 
soundings of 307 fathoms. This is the third specimen 
recorded, our previous example having been taken at 
51° 37' 30". N., 11° 56’ W., at soundings of 400 fathoms. 
The type was captured at 60° 3’ N., 3° 53’ W., at soundings 
of 276 fathoms t.
