For the giant Cephalopod, the arm of which was brought home by 
Cook, and described by It. Owen, Tr. Z. Soc. xi. [1881], p. 150, 
pi. xxxiii., and another (probably the same) species, pieces of the arm of 
which were described by Harting, Verh. Ak. Amst. ix. [1860] pi. iii. 
figs. 16 & 17. The chief generical character consists in the peculiar 
swollen and nut-shaped basal part of the hooks. It is by no moans sure, 
whether all arms or only the tentacular arms bear hooks. The synonymy 
of the species is the following : Sepia unguiculata (Molina, 1872) = 
Onychoteuthis molince, Lichtenst., 1818, = Enoploteuthis molince (Orbigny) 
= E. coold (Owen, 1881, pt.). The dried piece of hind part of the body 
with the fins, attributed to the same animal by Owen, l. c. pi. xxxi. 
figs. 2-4, probably belongs to a species of Architeuthis. Steenstrup has
