CEPHALOPODA OF THE SCOTTISH NATIONAL ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION. 283 
(p. 265) the date “1884.” I was fully aware of both these dates when | prepared 
the Report on the “ Challenger” Cephalopoda, but as a matter of fact neither of 
them is a date of publication. Sheet 50 of Verriti’s Third Catalogue of Mollusca 
.. of the New England Coast was not published by itself, but along with sheets 
51-56, in a wrapper which bears the words, ‘Newhaven, April to June 1885.” 
Therefore, under the most favourable construction, it cannot possibly have appeared 
before June, and careful inquiries which I made at the time led me to the conclusion 
that it did not make its appearance till July. I may further add that in the 
twenty-five years which have elapsed since the statement was published its accuracy 
has never been impugned.

Locality.—Station 422, Weddell Sea. Lat. 68° 32’ S., long. 12° 49’ W. 23rd 
March 1904. Vertical net; surface to 600 fathoms. One specimen [H 935. 
Previous Records.— South of Australia, lat. 47° 25’ 8, long. 130° 22’ E.; 
Mediterranean ; Equatorial Atlantic in the Guinea Current. 
This specimen has a mantle length of 45 mm., and is, therefore, considerably 
larger than that described by Cuun (34 mm.); but nevertheless I could find no 
trace of the modification of the tentacular suckers into hooks as depicted by him 
(pl. lix. figs. 6, 7); still, the other characters agree so well that I have no doubt 
that it belongs to the same species as his. 
If it could be proved satisfactorily that the embryo described by LanKeEsTER 
really belonged to this species, his name would take precedence; but at present 
it seems advisable to keep the name Procalistes suhmi for it, and to call the 
more mature specimens by the name adopted by Cuun. 
Desmoteuthis sp.

I have not thought it necessary to encumber this Report with full bibliographical 
references ; these will be found in my Catalogue of Recent Cephalopoda and its two 
Supplements.* The drawings have been made by Miss I. M. Davenport, B.Sc., under my
