| EDITORIAL NOTE Professor T.H. Huxley at one time
proposed to undertake the description of the Cephalopoda brought home
by the Expedition. His many engagements, however, compelled him to give
up this intention, so far as regards the whole collection, but he
retained, and is now engaged in the preparation of a report on, the
genus Spirula. The remainder of the cephalopod collection was placed in
the hands of Mr. W. E. Hoyle, in 1883, soon after his appointment as
Naturalist on the Editorial Staff of the Challenger Reports.
The results of Mr. Hoyle's investigations are given in this part, which, in addition to the description of many new forms, will be found to contain an able revision of our knowledge of existing species up to the present time. John Murray.
