. The Cephalopoda of the Hawaiian Islands. Cephalopoda; Mollusks. 332 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES. Material examined.—The single specimen was taken from the surface at Albatross station 3926, latitude 210 13' N., longitude 158° 41/ W., between Honolulu and Laysan Island [S. S. B. 276J. Remarks.—This specimen is clearly immature and withal very poorly preserved. The tentacles are missing and the integument disfigured with a whitish deposit, badly obliterating some of the impor- tant features. It is undoubtedly a young Abraliopsis, however, and is very close to the stage described by Pfe

Pterygiomor phaz Chun 1910. p. 58, 10S. PyroteuthiruB Pfeffer 1912, p. 124, 189, 773. Body sharply pointed posteriorly, notably exceeding the large round separate fins. Buccal mem- brane joined with the basal web of the arms; dorsal lappets close together and coherent at base. Photo- genic organs lacking from the outer integument, but numerous and polymorphic on the eyeball as well as within the pallial chamber. Genus PTERYGIOTEDTHIS H. Fischer 1895. Pterygioteuthis H.

Pyroleutkis {Pterygioteuthis) Pfeffer 1912, p. 193. 204. 774. Ventral arms naked or with suckers only; remaining arms with a few of the middle suckers transformed to hooks. Tentacle club with four rows of suckers and no hooks; fixing apparatus composed of a very few suckers and pads. Left ventral arm hectocotylized, and furnished with a conspicuous glandular fold or swelling. Type.—Pterygioteuthis Giardi Fischer 1895 (monotypic); described from off the coast of Morocco. Pfeffer has placed this genus under Pyroteuthis Hoyle 1904 as a subgroup; but even should this arrangement be accepted as zoologically correct, the name Pterygioteuthis has nine years' priority and should theref
