The Dutch naturalist, Rumph, appears to be the only one among modern authors who has really given us the description of this argonaut, or navigating octopus. One individual, says he, had the body soft, fleshy, furnished with eight feet, six of which, shorter than the remaining two, were provided with suckers, as in the other sepi . The two longer, or the hinder ones, double the length of the others, were smooth, rounded, and furnished with suckers likewise, but they were widened towards the

the shell is not bigger than one's finger, an ovary is nevertheless found there, which reposes on the shell in the form of a cushion. All this, however, is by no means clear, and more especially, as he says a little farther on, that new observations have proved to him that the eggs are found out of the body, in the hollow of the keel, but attached to the animal. Notwithstanding all these observations, which prove that Rumph really saw an octopus with dilated tentacula, he has left no figure of

these animals. Be this however as it may, Aristotle says, upon the subject, after having previously spoken of the polypi, or naked octopi, there are yet two genera of polypi, but they inhabit shells; the first is named nautilus by some, and nauticus by others. The animal is similar to a polypus (octopus), and its shell has a concave cochlea, but the animal is not attached to it. This animal, which is small, usually seeks its food along the coasts; sometimes the waves cast it ashore, and the

as Pliny gives none of the details which are furnished by Aristotle; he confines himself solely to mentioning the mode in which it navigates, by raising its first two arms, between which it extends a membrane of extreme tenuity, rowing with the others, and steering with its medial tail, an organ which never existed in any species of octopus. Oppian, in his Halieticon, also speaks only of the first species of Aristotle's nautilus, but, like a poet, he considers only its mode of navigation

a true gasteropod, and that Aristotle has positively declared that the animal of his second species is a polypus or octopus. Belon adds nothing to the description of Aristotle's first species but a bad figure, evidently designed from imagination. Rondelet manifestly copies Aristotle, and likewise gives a figure of the shell, which is supposed to be that of the first species; but the animal which he represents as belonging to 13 [page] 30

produced by the Physalia, or Portuguese man-of-war. I was much interested, on several occasions, by watching the habits of an Octopus or cuttle-fish. Although common in the pools of water left by the retiring tide, these animals were not easily caught. By means of their long arms and suckers, they could drag their bodies into very narrow crevices; and when thus fixed, it required great force to remove them. At other times they darted tail first, with the rapidity of an arrow, from one side of the pool

Oltre a questo mezzo di difesa, essa ha una secrezione acida, di cui è spalmato il suo corpo, e che produce una sensazione astringente sgradevole, simile a quella prodotta dalla Fisalia. Mi procurò molto piacere l'osservare varie volte i costumi di un Octopus o seppia. Sebbene comuni nei ristagni d'acqua lasciati dalla bassa marea, questi animali non son facili da prendere.
