The most noteworthy specimen of this species in the collec- 

 tion comprises only the buccal mass and two suckers of an animal 

 taken on the Harriman Alaska Expedition by Dr. William E. 

 Ritter in the Shumagin Islands, Alaska, but these are well pre- 

 served and of such size that it seems well to place them on record : 



Diameter of larger sucker 49 mm. 



Diameter of smaller sucker 45 mm. 



Diameter of mandible (transverse) about 40 mm. 



The remainder of the material is mainly juvenile. Specimens 



examined as follows :

Polypus (sp.) young- 

 There is a small specimen in the collection which does not 

 seem to be referable to either of the above species. It is too im-
