^ I have not had an opportunity of seeing the original Portland Catalogue, 

 but the references in brackets are taken from a copy of Solander's MS, in the 

 Linnean Society's Library, for the knowledge of which I am indebted to Dr 

 Murie ; it was written by Humphreys, and was formerly in the possession of 

 G. B. Sowerby, from whom it was purchased for the sum of £5. 



2 It seems very improbable that this is the Octo^ms tuberculatus of Risso 

 (Hist. Nat, Eur. Merid,, t. iv., p. 3, 1826) ; his description does not seem to 

 me applicable to this form, in addition to which we have Yerany's statement 

 (Ceph. medit,, p, 40) that Risso did not recognise the drawing of Octopus 

 catenulatus {op. cit, pi. xiii.) as his species. There can, however, be no doubt 

 that, as Steenstrup has recently pointed out {loc. cit.), this is the species 

 which Rafinesque had in view in constituting the genus Ocythoe, which Leach 

 and others have always understood to be the animal of the Argonaut, which 

 Rafinesque clearly states was not the case (" Good Book," loc. cit).
