between the tentacles, and is surrounded by a double fleshy 
lip, the outer fold of the lip bearing short fleshy pointed lobes 
opposite the spaces between the tentacles. The 
pharynx is large, muscular and bulbous, contain- 
ing two powerful horny teeth, shaped like a par- 
rot’s beak ; the two jaws are unequal, the lower 
one the smaller, moving vertically. On opening 
the base of the smaller jaw, the lingual ribbon or 
odontophore (Fig. 208, yo) may be discovered ; it 
consists of seven rows of teeth, somewhat as in 
those of Architeuthis Hartingti (Fig. 210). 
The esophagus (@) is long and slender, with two 
long oval salivary glands (sg) on each side of it, just 
behind the pharynx; the salivary duct leading 
into the mouth-cavity. The cesophagus has 
several internal longitudinal folds, and passes 
on one side of the large liver (7) which lies in 
front of the stomach, and which is about one 
third as long as the whole body, extending back- 
wards. 
On laying open the stomach, a series of large 
semicircular transverse curved valves may be

Vernill. cectm (ca) with about fourteen longitudinal, 
thin high ridges. There is no spiral portion attached. The 
intestine (in) is straight, thick, and passes forward, ending 
in a large vent (a), the edges of 
which are lobulated. The ‘‘ink-

The duct is straight, and is intimately attached to the in- 
testine, ending close to the vent, both the vent and open- 
ing of the duct of the ink-bag being situated at the bot- 
tom of the funnel or siphon (Fig. 208, /), which is a large
