Catalogue of the Cephalopoda Specimens in the Zoology Department of Tokyo University Museum

Abstract

A catalogue of the extant specimens of recent Cephalopoda in the Museum of Tokyo University is here presented including 50 lots of recently designated type material, mostly from species described by Sasaki. Also identified are the specimens of many other species described by Sasaki in his monograph of 1929. An Appendix provides an English summary of a largely ignored nineteenth century list of the oldest specimens in the ZUMT collection, published in Japanese, for comparison with the present collection.
