Abstract
NOS. 1706, 1710, 1712, and 1713 of the Proceedings of the U.S. National Museum are devoted to the descriptions of various groups of invertebrates from American territory. In No. 1713 Mr. S. S. Berry deals with a series of new cephalopods from the Hawaiian Islands, among which special interest attaches to the new genus and species Stephanoteuthis hawaiiensis, an apparent member of the Sepiolidæ, characterised by the peculiar shape of the body and the ventral anterior extension of the mantle to cover the funnel. In other respects the genus is, however, related to Heteroteuthis. A remarkable globular form, described as Cranchia globula, is related to C. reinliardti, in which globularity appears to be a feature of immaturity, but whether the same holds good for the new form—if, indeed, it be really distinct—remains for future determination.
