nearly smooth, but in the larger specimens, especially the 

 males, usually with a few whitish papilla?, most numerous 

 near the front edge of the mantle." Now Verrill's largest 

 specimens, which have the mantle 29-31 millim. long, are 

 just the size of that figured by Sars, while my smaller Shet- 

 land specimen of 72. glaucopis, length of mantle 13 millim., 

 is nearly quite smooth. Again, as regards the form of the 

 head, Verrill's two figures (pi. xxxi. fig. 3, and pi. xlvii. 

 fig. 2) exhibit marked differences in form both of head, body, 

 and of position of fins, as great as between one of those figures 

 and that given by Sars ; while my specimen has the eyes 

 quite as prominent as they are represented in the latter figure 

 of Verrill just referred to. 



I have not united the species only because it is perhaps 

 desirable that specimens of the two should be examined side 

 by side before that is done. 



Genus 2. Sepiola (Rondeletius), Leach. 



Head dorsally attached to the body by connecting mem- 

 brane. Body short, suboval or oblong. Fins latero-dorsal, 

 rounded. Head almost as large as the body. Eyes promi- 

 nent, covered by an expansion of the skin. Tentacular arms 

 long, retractile, dilated at their extremities. Arms subulate, 

 suckers generally two-rowed, but at the extremity sometimes 

 many-rowed. Males have one of the first arms (left) hecto- 

 cotylized and the third pair stronger than in female, and 

 curiously forced down from their bases into the cavity of the 

 mouth. Gladius lancet-shaped or linear, small, about half 

 the length of the body. Radula as in Rossia.

Fins about equal to and not longer than half the entire 

 length of the mantle. Suckers of all the arms two-rowed to 

 their extremities. Valve of the funnel small in female, absent 

 in male. Ink-bag simple, that is pyriform. Gladius narrow, 

 linear or setiform.
