 | Argonauta argo "Argonauta argo (male), with hectocotylized arm attatched. (several times smaller than the female, though shown larger."-Whitney, 1902 |

 | Cuttle-fish A molluscous animal, having arms furnished with sucking-cups, by means of which it attaches itself tenaceously to other bodies. When pursued, it throws out a blackish liquor that darkens the water, enabling it to escape observation. |
 | Cuttle-fish Cuttlefish are animals of the order Sepiida, and are marine cephalopods, small relatives of squid and nautilus. |
 | Cuttlefish Cephalopods are the most highly organized Molluscs. The head is distinct, carrying two large globular eyes, and having the mouth in its center. |
 | Cuttlefish The body of the cuttlefish is soft and covered only with a leathery skin. Its eight arms are very long. |
 | Cuttlefish "The cuttlefishes have a strange method of walking, head-downward, on their outspread arms; they can also swim with their fins, or with their webbed arms, or by expelling the water forcibly from their branchial chamber." — Goodrich, 1859 |
 | Cuttlefish "It has no shell, and no skeleton, but has two conical pieces of horny substance imbedded in the back, one on each side. The body, which has a globular form, is a soft, jelly-like substance, covered with a thick, dark-colored, leathery skin." — Goodrich, 1859 |
 | Cuttlefish "Twelve to eighteen inches long; the skin smooth, whitish, and spotted with brown and purple." — Goodrich, 1859 |
 | Cuttlefish A fish with eight arms. |
 | Cuttlefish and man A man in the grasp of a large cuttlefish on the sea-shore." — Goodrich, 1859 |
 | Squid Egg An egg-cluster of squid. |
 | Cuttle, Fish A cuttle fish. |
 | Giant Squid "Giant Squid (Architeuthis dux). (From Report of U.S. Fish Commission, 1884.)-Whitney, 1902 |
 | Nautilus Chambered nautilus, showing chambers with soft body in outer chamber. It is closely related to the squids and cuttlefishes, but has the body enclosed in a flat-spiral shell. |
 | Nautilus The nautilus is a true mollusc. (a) mantle; (o) eye; (t) tentacles; (f) funnel. |
 | Nautilus "Section of a nautilus showing its interior." — Goodrich, 1859 |
 | Nautilus The name applied formerly to a large genus of mollusks. At present it is confined to only three existing species. Fossil remains indicate that more than one hundred species lived in the different geological periods. |
 | Nautilus A marine creature of the class Cephalopoda. They are found only in the western Pacific, inhabiting waters around coral reefs. |
 | Paper Nautilus The paper nautilus is closely related to the octopus. It creates its own thin shell, or egg case, in which it hides when disturbed. |

 | Paper Nautilus The paper-nautilus is closely related to the Octopus. |
 | Octopus As the name indicates, the octopus has eight arms instead of ten, as in the squids and cuttles. |
 | Octopus Part of the cephalopod group. The name cephalopod is derived from two greek words which mean feet on head. |
 | Octopus Octopus, a mollusk related to the squid. It has eight arms with suckers, arranged around a central soft, baggy body. |

 | Octopus "The Octopus is the typical genus of the family Octopodidæ. The body is oval, warty, or cirrose, finless; arms long, unequal, suckers in two rows, mantle supported in front by the branchial septum. In the male the third right arm is hectocotylized. Found on the coasts of the temperate and tropical zones. Forty-six species are known, varying in length from one inch only to a number of feet. They are solitary animals, frequenting rocky shores, and are very active and voracious, the females oviposit on seaweeds or in empty shells. The term 'octopus' is applied in the United States to monopolies supposed to resemble the octopus in their grasping and voracious character."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911) |
 | Octopus A genus of fishes beloning to the cephalopod group, and also known as cuttlefishes. They have a warty, oval body, eight arms of unequal length, and consist of fourty-six known species. |
 | Octopus "A genus of dimiliarly known as cuttle-fishes. They have eight arms, each with two rows of suckers, which are sessile or unstalked. The prominent head is joined to the body by a distinct neck, and the body itself is short, generally more or less rounded in shape, and unprovided with side or lateral fins. They have attained a notoriety from tales circulated concerning their ferocity and the existence of gigantic members of the genus, though the largest cuttle-fishes that have been met with have belonged to other genera." — Winston's Encyclopedia, 1919 |
 | Paper Nautilus "Argonauta argo, the "Paper Nautilus," female. The animal is represented in its shell, but the webbed dorsal arms are separated from the shell, which they ordinarily embrace." — Encyclopedia Britannica, 1893 |
 | Pearly Nautilus "Pearly nautilus with half the shell removed." —Davison, 1906 |
 | Rhizostomae "In the sub-order Rhizostomae the edges of the oral opening use together at an early age and leave several sucker-like secondary mouths, which were formerly mistaken for independent persons." — Encyclopedia Britannica, 1893 |
 | Squid The squid is the best example of the cephalopod group. It is abundant along the Atlantic coast. Squids swim in schools and feed on young herring and mackerel. |
