the opposite side of the continent. The finer papillae, their farther extent ventrally, 
the distinct peripheral fold, more slender arms, and paired cirri above the eyes, would 
seem, however, quite ample to distinguish it. 
A single young specimen [S.S.B. 444] obtained at Station X., in 325 fathoms, is 
apparently referable to the same species, as it shares in the distinct papillation, peripheral 
fold, and other characters, while its proportionate dimensions are as nearly similar 
as could probably be expected.

^ . . (PI. XIII., fig. 13 ; PI. XIV., figs. 14, 15, 16.) 
Description : 
Body firm, plump, broader than long ; very rotund below, with a distinct longi¬ 
tudinal depression in the medio-ventral line. Pallial opening broad, terminating at a 
point below and a very little behind the posterior angle of the eye opening. 
Head conspicuously narrower than the body, fairly well delimited by the slight 
nuchal constriction. Eyes large, prominent. 
Funnel stout, conical, extending over half the distance from its posterior margin 
to the edge of the umbrella. Funnel organ conspicuous, comprising two broad-limbed 
U-shaped portions covering most of the inner wall (text fig. 21).

Funnel organ of type. X 2. Type. Suckers of right dorsal arm. x 2. 
Arms stout, regularly tapering, and very short, scarcely twice as long as the head 
and body, or about two and a half times the length of the body alone ; without notable 
keels or webs ; dorsal arms shortest, the others very nearly of a length. Suckers (text 
fig. 22) quite large, deep cupped ; uniserial throughout, but sometimes more or less 
displaced by contraction ; about 44 on the right third arm. Umbrella short, nearly 
equal all around, but usually best developed at the sides, and a little longer between 
the ventral than the dorsal arms ; attached to the arms for about a quarter of their 
length.
