II. — The General History of the Cephalopoda, Eecent and 



Fossil.^ 

 By Miss Agnes Crane. 

 'ANY of the living forms of Cephalopodous molluscs are now, 

 thanks to the Brighton Aquarium, familiar to us all ; and, as 

 the habits and characteristics of the squids, octopods, and cuttles 

 have been duly recorded by Mr. Henry Lee in his amusing book on 

 "The Octopus,"* published in 1875, 1 shall here restrict myself to 

 those points in the structui'e of the living forms which bear upon 

 the history of the class as a whole, giving merely those anatomical 

 details which are absolutely indispensable for a right comprehension 

 of the nature and affinities of the numerous fossil and extinct members 

 of the order. I may, however, observe, en passant, that the existence 

 of a certain sub-stratum of truth in the old stories of giant Cepha- 

 lopods was ably proved by Mr, Saville Kent, in the " Popular Science 

 Review," for 1874, and that specimens have been more recently cast 

 ashore in Trinity and Logie Bays, on the coast of Newfoundland, that 

 may fairly claim to be of enormous dimensions. Thus, in a truly 

 formidable calamary, or squid, the tentacular arms measured 30 feet, 

 the largest suckers being one inch in diameter, the shorter (or pedal) 

 arms were 11 feet long, and the body was 10 feet. Professor Verrill 

 has also described a huge cuttle, estimating the total length at 40 

 feet, the large tentacles were 26 feet long, with a maximum circum-

 Society, September 12, 1878, has since been carefully revised and augmented both
