MOLLUSCA. 
lodged in the liver, and the glands of the oviducts arc very large. 
The coalescing eggs are deposited in narrow garlands, and in two 
rows. 
They are now subdivided according to the number and armature 
of the feet and the form of the fins. 
Loligopsis, Lam. 
Or the Calmarets, should have hut eight feet as in Octopus ; they 
are only known, however, by drawings of but little authority* * * § . 
In the true Loligo the long arms are furnished with cups like the 
other tentacula, and the fins are placed near the point of the sac. 
Three species are found in the European seas. 
L. vulgaris ; Sepia loligo, L. \ Rondel., 506; Salv. 169. The 
common Calmar. Fins forming a rhomb at the bottom of 
the sac. 
L. sagittata, Lam. ; Seb., Ill, iv. The great Calmar. Fins 
forming a triangle at the bottom of the sac ; arms shorter than 
the body, and loaded Avith cups for about half their length. 
L. Media; Sep. media, L. •, Rondel, 508. The little Calmar. 
Fins forming an ellipsis at the bottom of the sac, Avhich tei’mi- 
nate in a sharp pointf. 
Onykia, Lesueur. — Onychotheuthis, LicJdenst. 
Have the long arms furnished Avith cups terminating in hooks ; 
in other respects the form is the same|. 
Sepiola, Cuv. 
HaA'e the rounded fins attached to the sides of the sac and not to its 
point. One species, 
S. vulgaris; S. sepiola, L. ; Rondel., 519, inhabits European 
seas. The sac is short and obtuse, and the fins small and cir- 
cular. It seldom exceeds three inches in length, and its horny 
lamina is as slender and sharp as a stilet. 
Chondrosepia, Leukard. — Sepiotheutes, Blainv. 
The AA’hole margin of the sac, on each side, bordered Avith the fins, 
as in Sepia ; but the shell horny, as in Loligo§.
