Polypus campbelli, E. A. Smith (1902).

“Report on the Collections of Natural History made in the Antarctic Regions during the Voyage of the ‘Southern Cross,’” 1902, vii, Mollusca, by Edgar A. Smith, F.Z.S., p. 201, pl. xxiv, figs. 7—11.

The specimen described is a male. Mr. Smith mentions that the right dorsal arm is shorter than the left, probably bitten by a fish or crustacean. I have a female specimen, also from Campbell Island, which shows the very same peculiarity, and proves that it is not accidental, but must be considered as characteristic of the species.
