    • 1909, Pamphlets on Biology: Kofoid collection, Volume 2639, page 89:
      The region concerned is faunally a very rich one, but as its teuthology has been hitherto practically unknown, the fact that a number of its most common and characteristic species are undescribed need be in no way surprising.

      Students of Teuthology today are fortunate to have a wealth of excellent references published in the past decade.
