A gigantic squid, probably Architeuthu dux (Steenstrup), has been

and the head, have been brought ashore, and are described by A. G. 
More, Ann. N. H. (4) xvi. pp. 123 & 124. It is probably A. monachu8\ 
A. E. Terrill, tom. cit. p. 268. 
Another gigantic squid, probably Architeuthis princeps (Terr.), head 
and body together about 14 feet long, and the tentacular arms 26 feet, 
was cast ashore in the winter of 1874-75 in Newfoundland, and is de-
