also some doubts whether the mandibles, pi. xxx., belong to the same 
genus as the piece of the arm. 
Abralia megalops, sp. n., Verrill, Am. J. Sci. (3) xxiv. p. 364, South 
Coast of New England. 
Gonatus (Gray). Gray’s typical specimen is really identical with 
Moller’s Onychoteuthis P amcena, both sexes of which are known, and very 
distinct from Verrill’s Gonatus amoenus, from Cumberland Gulf. The 
genus Gonatus occurs also in the Southern hemisphere, specimens having 
been found in the stomach of Diomedea exulans, somewhat south of the 
Cape, by Danish sailors; Steenstrup, l. c. pp. 143-150. 
Cheloteuthis rapax (Verrill) probably = Lestoteuthis fabricii (Steenstr.), 
Verrill, Tr. Conn. Ac. v. [1881] p. 387, and Am. J. Sci. (3) xxii. p. 297. 
It is identical with Gonatus fabricii ; Steenstrup, l. c. pp. 143-146.

( Architeuthis .) Observations on some of the more important speci- 
mens described from other than North American sources ; Verrill, Tr. 
Conn. Ac. v. [Feb. 1880] pp. 238-245. A large specimen cast ashore

arms 28 feet ; id. Am. J. Sci. (3) xxiii. p. 71, also in “ New York Herald,”

Architeuthis [P] verrilli, sp. n., Kirk, Tr. N. Z. Inst. xiv. p. 248, 
pi. xxxvi. fig. 2, Cook Strait ; length of head and body 9 feet 1 inch, 
tentacular arms 25 feet. Intermediate between Architeuthis and S teno- 
teuthis, but differing much from both, and provisionally retained in the 
former. Abstract in Am. J. Sci. (3) xxiv. p. 477. 
P lee toteu this (Owen, 1881) = Architeuthis (Steenstrup) ; the arm 
described by R. Owen, Tr. Z. S. xi. p. 156, pis. xxxiv. & xxxv., is a hec- 
tocotylized ventral arm of Architeuthis. Steenstrup, Overs. Dan. Selsk. 
1882, pp. 164-168. 
Mouchezia (Velain, 1877) probably = Architeuthis (Steenstrup), the 
sudden blunt termination of the arms is no generic character, but the 
effect of mutilation by sharks or toothed whales ; id. 1. c. p. 158. 
Steenstrupia , g. n., near Architeuthis , longer and more slender, arras 
relatively much smaller and shorter ; shell lanceolate, with a small ter- 
minal hood. S. stocki , sp. n., length of head and body 11 feet 1 inch, 
sessile arms 4 feet 2 inches, Cook Strait. Kirk, Tr. N. Z. Inst. xiv. p. 286,
