sion (lot 797) by Captain Chas. Anderson and crew of the schooner 
“Alice G. Wunson,” of Gloucester, Mass. 
The jaws of this were slightly larger than in the one just de- 
scribed. They agree well in nearly every respect, but the notch at 
the base of the lower mandible is narrower and the tooth beyond it 
broad and rounded.

A fifth specimen, received in lot 879, Oct., 1880, consists of two 
of the sessile arms, but the suckers have lost their horny rings, so 
that the identification cannot be very positive. The largest arm, 
which is not quite entire, is 255 mm long, and 23 mm in diameter, at the 
larger end. It was taken from the stomach of a cod, on the Grand 
Banks, and presented to the U. S. Fish Commission by the Captain 
and crew of the schooner “ Otis P. Lord.”
