Abstract
THE journal of a college of agriculture is about the last kind of periodical in which we should expect to find descriptions of deep-sea cephalopods. Nevertheless, three out of the four articles constituting the contents of the seventh number of vol. iv. of the Journal of the College of Agriculture, Imperial University of Tokyo, are devoted to new and rare species of squids, the remaining communication dealing with the eels of the Japanese, Corean, and Formosan seas. In the first of the three articles on squids, all of which are very fully illustrated, Mr. C. Ishikawa describes a new species of the genus Enoploteuthis from the Japan Sea, while in the second Messrs. Ishikawa and Wakiya treat of a number of fragments of a gigantic species taken from the stomach of a sperm-whale. The latter is identified with Moroteuthis robusta, of which it forms the fifth known example; in the third article the last-named writers describe a new species of the same genus under the name of M. loennbergi.
