[Plate v.] The small octopus^, the publication of whose portrait is the incentive for these notes^ was captured off the Hopkins Marine Station, near the south point of JNIonterey Bay, late in June 1922. It lived in an aquarium for three and one-half months, feeding irregularly and usually at niglit upon pieces of fish and of the large gastropod i/a//o/i6\ * Dr. S. S. Berry, of Iledlands, California, writes that the identifi-cation of this specimen has presented considerable ditticulty. It is probably Polypus apoUyon, Berry. It very evidently belongs to the apoilyon-honykonyensis group. 10*
