^ Just at the time of going to press. Professor Steenstrup writes me that it 

 is, in his opinion, very doubtful whether d'Orbigny's two figures represent the 

 same species. He is disposed to regard the type of Rapp's species as having 

 been a true Octopus, and for the form with pouches between the arms he has 

 adopted the name Cistopus hursarius. 



2 Verany {loc. cit., p. 24) admits that his Octopus cocco is identical with 

 delle Chiaje's Octopus unicirrhics, and also recognises the priority of the 

 latter, under which circumstances there can be no doubt that the name has 

 been rightly restored by Dr Tiberi. D'Orbigny regarded it as a synonym 

 of Octopnis v^Ugaris,
