CEPHALOPODA.—BERRY.

3.— Moschites albida new species. 
(PL X., figs. 2 and 3 ; PL XI., fig. 4.) 
Description: 
Body firm, slightly compressed and with a faint longitudinal groove below, but 
nearly round from the dorsal aspect, being a little broader than long. Mantle opening 
extending somewhat over a third of the distance around the head, terminating at a point 
below, but distinctly in front of the eye aperture. 
Head extremely short and broad, but narrower than the body, from which it is very 
poorly if at all delimited. Eyes moderately large, but not greatly swollen. 
Funnel short and stubby, but not very broad at the base, whence it extends a little 
over a third of the distance to the umbrella margin. Funnel organ large, with a very 
rugose or plicate surface in preserved material, having a general outline like that of a 
very broad-limbed V, and covering almost the entire wall of the funnel cavity (text 
fig. 6). 
Fig. 7.— Moschites albida. 
Suckers 9-14 of right dorsal arm. x 3. 
Arms roughly subequal, their length not quite four times that of the body or three 
times that of the head and body taken together ; very stout, little attenuate. Suckers 
uniserial (text fig. 7), the small deep cups having the appearance of closer ranking toward 
the tips of the arms than near the mouth. The number of suckers to be counted by 
the unaided eye is about 57 on the right third arm. Umbrella rather thin, but well 
developed, especially at the sides where it extends for more than a third the length of 
the arms ; its least development occurs between the arms of the ventral pair. 
Hectocotylus unknown.
