XII. The New Zealand Region. 



The Cephalopod fauna of these islands is so peculiar that it seems advisable to 

 separate them from the Australian region, to which, they are no doubt nearly allied, 

 though, as will be seen above, the number of forms proved to be common to both is 

 very few.

XIII. The Pacific Insular Region. 



The shores of the various archipelagos in the Pacific Ocean seem to be inhabited by 

 numerous Cephalopods which are quite distinct from the pelagic forms inhabiting the 

 open ocean. But few collections have as yet been made of these ; not enough to enable 

 any general conclusions regarding their afiinities to be drawn.

1 Hutton (Man. Moll. N. Zeal., p. 1) has corrected d'Abigny's statement that this species is from New Zealand ; 

 Quoy and Gaimard say, " le havre Carteret k la Nouvelle Irlande."
