Architeuthis Harveyi Terrill. (No. 27). 
After the preceding pages were put in type, another specimen of 
Architeuthis was secured. 
This was found dead, floating at the surface, near the shore, at 
Portugal Cove, a few miles from St. John’s, Newfoundland, Novem- 
ber 10, 1881. It was obtained by Mr. Morris, who had a photograph 
of it made by Mr. E. Lyons, of St. John’s, and then shipped it to 
New York, packed in ice, by the steamer “Catima,” Capt. Davies. 
Mr. Morris has given a brief description of this specimen in an article 
in the New York Herald of Nov. 25, 1881. In Harper’s Weekly of 
Dec. 10, accompanying an article on the same subject, ^apparently by 
the same writer, there is a wood-cut, apparently copied from the 
photograph.* 
The specimen was purchased by Mr. E. M. Worth, and preserved, 
in alcohol, at his museum, 101 Bowery, N. Y., where I had a good 
opportunity to examine it about two weeks after it had been put in 
alcohol. 
Although this is more nearly complete than any specimen hitherto 
brought to this country, the arms and suckers are not so well 
preserved, as in some of the other examples. All the sessile arms 
have lost more or less of their tips, so that the actual length cannot 
be given, and many of their suckers are either injured or lost ; the 
* This figure, though poor, gives a fair idea of the general appearance of the crea- 
ture as it would look if lying flabby and collapsed on the shore. The peculiar appear- 
ance of the caudal fin was due to mutilation of that organ.
