The living Cephalopods are voracious in the extreme; and, as we find that throughout the transition and secondary groups the number of the zoophagous Trachelipods is small in comparison with that of the phytophagous Mollusca, it is not unreasonable to seek in the Cephalopods for that check upon an excessive increase of submarine life, which the other zoophagous molluscs were too inconsiderable in number to afford.
