remnants of the same species in the stomach of Coryphænoides 

 rupestris Gunn. and Etmo pt er us spinax Lin. from the Herlof jord, 

 where V» 1901 I took Cephalopod-eggs, bluish white, diam. 10.5—11 

 rmn., which was referred to R. macrosoma (Nordgård 1911, p. 43). 

 The other kind of Cephalopod-eggs from the same place (1. c. p. 43) 

 probably helonged to R. glaiicopis Loven. 



On the maturity and lajång of eggs in R. macrosoma S. Lo 

 BiANCO (1899, p. 531) writes: «Matura in XI (W. L Vigelius;. 

 deposizione di uova nell' Acquario I — II e V; in VIII furono pescate 

 a Bocchicella 7 uova fissate sopra un ramo di Isiclella elongata Esp., 

 le quali contenevano piccoli a termine di sviluppo. Queste uova 

 hanno quasi la stessa forma e grandezza di quelle di Sepia offici- 

 nalis Lin., dalle quali si distinguono specialmente per il colore 

 ceruleo palido».
