RESUME OF THE PRESENT COLLECTION. 
As it came into my hands, the Australasian collection contained, besides the usual 
large array of indeterminable fragments taken from the stomachs of various vertebrates, 
some 14 preserved animals, most of them in a very good state of preservation. Two, 
though clearly neither conspecific nor congeneric with any of the remainder, are not 
specifically determinable. A third, a small shallow-water Polypus from the Tasmanian 
coast, is named only with considerable doubt, and should be included only by sufferance 
in an Antarctic report. The remaining 11 specimens are all octopods and referable to 
five species, four of them members of the genus Moschites. After as careful study as 
the literature alone will permit in the total absence of comparative material, all of these 
species are thought to be new, and are herein described under the following names :— 
Stauroteuthis mawsoni n. sp. 
Moschites albida n. sp. 
adelieana n. sp. 
aurorcc n. sp. 
harrissoni n. sp. 
A more or less critical comparison with previously described forms will be given 
in the consideration of each species as dealt with. 
Most of the drawings used to illustrate this paper are from the careful pen of Mr. E. 
Russell Lord-Wood, of Redlands, California. For the four drawings of funnel organs, 
however (figs. 6, 10, 14, and 21), acknowledgment is due to my friend, Mr. Robert N. 
Wenzel, of Stanford University.
