A. E. Ten-ill — North American Cephalopods. 
One of the specimens (Xo. 16), taken by Mr. Agassiz, in 357 
fathoms, is a young female differing somewhat from the others in 
having the arms shorter, with the suckers more crowded, so t hat they 
apparently form more than two rows. Possibly this should be 
referred to E. Hyatti Verrill. Its back is smooth. All three speci- 
mens from this same region differ somewhat from those taken farther 
north, in shallower water, in having larger eyes and shorter and 
stouter arms.
