3054 Varieties 
This word is used by some writers to indicate a subspecies, by 
others only a slight inconstant variation or form. Where used in 
the first sense many authors believe in raising the ‘‘variety’’ to 
full specific rank; and many customs exist. In the compilation 
of the present work nearly all subspecies or forms are alike treat- 
ed as “‘varieties’’ except in some few cases authors using the word 
“form” are quoted with exactness. It is an open question whether 
inconstant forms—such as color variations, should receive names. 
The various essays by Henry Hemphill, one of the most indefatig- 
able of collectors, and a close student of nature, throw much light 
on the subject of variation, but they are suggestive rather than 
conclusive, and thousands of further observations are necessary 
before final opinions may be formed.

3055 =sBerry, S. Stillman: 
The Cephalopoda of the Hawaiian Islands. U. S. Bureau of 
Fisheries bulletin 32:257-362 t 45-55. 1914. 
3056 Hemphill, Henry: 
Note on a California Loligo. Zoe 3:51. 
Names provisionally a species found in the Oakland and San 
Francisco markets as Loligo Stearnsii, but this must be considered 
asanomen nudum. Mentions the following as all the cephalopods 
known to the Pacific coast from Alaska to San Diego. 
409 Argonauta argo Linne. 
139 Octopus punctatus Gabb 
3057 Ammostrephes Ayresii Gabb. 
3058 Ammostrephes giganteus Gabb. 
The above is apparently an error—Ommastrephes being 
meant. 
1283 Onychoteuthis fusiformis Gabb. Puget Sound? (Kenner 
ley). Victoria? 
$79 Loligo stearnsii Hemphill. 
Perhaps Loligo Gahi D’Orb.
