. The Cephalopoda. Cephalopoda. C. Chun. figure 47. Velodona togala The arms are well developed. They decrease in length from the dorsal to the ventral arms. Because of the contraction of the muscular membranes, the arms of the preserved specimen were coiled at the tip, so that it was difficult to measure them. I therefore measured their relative length by counting the uniserial suckers, which was also difficult because the membranes extended on the arm and pre- vented their spreading. The number of suckers on the left arms was as follows: 374. Please note that these images are extracted from
