A. E. YerriU — Xortli American Cephalopods. 
No. 4.— Bonavista Bay specimen. (A. Harveyi ?.) 
Plate XYI, figures 5, 6. 
A pair of jaws aud two of the suckers from the tentacular- 
arms were forwarded to me by Professor Baird of the Smithsonian 
Institution. These were received from Rev. A. Munu, who writes 
that they were taken from a specimen that came ashore at Bonavista 
Bay, Newfoundland; that it measured thirty-two feet in length 
(probably the entire length, including the tentacular-arms) ; and 
about six feet in circumference. The jaws are large and broad, resem- 
bling those of No. 5, both in size and form, but much thinner than 
those of No. 1, and without the deep notch and angular lobe seen in 
that specimen. The suckers also agree with those of No. 5, but are 
a little smaller. 
No. 5— Logie Bay specimen. 1873. (Architeuthis Harveyi, type.) 
Plate XIII. Plate XIV. Plate XV, figures 1, 2, 3. Plate XVI, figures 1 to 4. 
A complete specimen was captured in November, 1873, at Logie 
Bay, near St. John's, N ewfoundlaud. It became entangled in herriug- 
nets and was secured by the fishermen with some difficulty, and only 
after quite a struggle, during which its head was badly mutilated and 
severed from the body, and the eyes, most of the siphon-tube, and part 
of the front edge of the mant le were destroyed. It is probable that this 
was a smaller specimen of the same species as No. 2. Fortunately this 
specimen was secured by the Rev. M. Harvey of St. John’s. After it 
had been photographed and measured, he attempted to preserve it 
entire in brine, but this was found to be ineffectual, and after decom- 
position had begun to destroy some of the most perishable parts, he 
took it from the brine and, dividing it into several portions, preserved 
such parts as were still undecomposed in strong alcohol. These 
various portions have all been examined by me and part of them are 
now in my possession, and with the photographs have enabled me to 
present a restoration, believed to be tolerably accurate, of the entire 
creature (plate XIV). In this figure the eyes, ears, siphon-tube 
and front edge of the mantle have been restored from a small squid 
( Ommastrephes). The other parts have been drawn directly from the 
photographs and specimens.* There were two photographs of the

the Museum of Comparative Zoology, but after the arrival of the specimens it had to 
be altered in many parts. These necessary changes were made by the writer, after a 
careful study of the parts preserved, in comparison with the photographs and original 
measurements. As published in my former papers, the eyes and back of the head of
