AUSTRALASIAN ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION. 
Head quite large in comparison with the body, its size due almost wholly to the 
immense, swollen eyes, which nearly meet in the median line above. 
Funnel cylindrical, reaching a little less than two-thirds of the distance from its 
base to the umbrella margin. Funnel organ well developed, W-shaped (text fig. 10).

Funnel organ of type. X 3. 
Arms short, scarcely twice as long as the head and body, or three times the length 
of the body alone ; robust, their extremities little attenuate ; not keeled or webbed ; 
much compressed laterally so as to appear more or less rectangular in transection. 
Suckers (text fig. 11) rather large, particularly from about the 9th to the 15th from the 
Fig. 11.— M. adelieana. 
•y- 
Suckers 7-10 of right dorsal arm. x 3. 
base ; arranged in a single series throughout, about 43 to be distinguished upon the left 
third arm. Umbrella very poorly developed, extending between the lateral arms, where 
its extent is a little the greatest, for scarcely a quarter of their length. 
Hectocotylus unknown. 
Surface everywhere smooth, permanent papillse or tubercles of any description 
being indistinguishable.
