Synopsis

Details are given of two more Giant Squids (Architeuthis) found in the Scottish area. The question of which species occur is discussed. It is suggested that the two species, A. harveyi Verrill and A.princeps Verrill, described from the American side, do not occur on the European side, as certain identifications would suggest. The two species found on the European side would, therefore, be A. dux Steenstrup and A. clarkei Robson.
