A. E. Verrill — JVbrth American Cephalopods. 



One. of the specimens (No. 16), taken by Mr. Agassiz, in 357 

 fathoms, is a young female differing somewhat from the others in 

 having the arms shorter, with the suckers more crowded, so that they 

 apparently form more than two rows. Possibly this should be 

 referred to H. Hyatti Verrill. Its back is smooth. All three speci- 

 mens from this same region differ somewhat from those taken farther 

 north, in shallower water, in having larger eyes and shorter and 

 stouter arms.
