Riassunto

Excerpt from Report on the Cephalopoda Collected by H. M.S. Challenger During the Years 1873-76

ON the return of the Challenger the whole collection of Cephalopoda was placed by Sir Wyville Thomson in the hands of Professor Huxley for examination and description, and it will be regretted by all naturalists that this Report was not prepared by that eminent master in the science of comparative anatomy. Professor Huxley's numerous engagements, however, prevented him from undertaking more than the investigation of the single specimen of Spirula which was Obtained by the Expedition. The remainder of the collection was offered to me by Mr. John Murray in the autumn of 1882, and within the first few weeks of 1883 I received the specimens from South Kensington. Since that period almost all my spare time has been occupied in the work of drawing up the present Report.
