Abstract
THIS work gathers into one volume practically all the available knowledge of the Octopoda (exclusive of Octopus and some allied genera monographed in Part 1 in 1929), and includes a great deal of new information due to the author's comprehensive studies of these animals, not only in the British Museum, but also in Paris, Monaco, Berlin, Leyden, and elsewhere. Our knowledge of the whole group is definitely advanced, so that it is now possible to review the systematic interrelationships of the Octopoda with some confidence.
A Monograph of the Recent Cephalopoda based on the Collections in the British Museum (Natural History).
Part 2: The Octopoda (excluding the Octopodinæ). By G. C. Robson. Pp. xi + 359 + 6 plates. (London: British Museum (Natural History), 1932.) 20s.
