egg of the octopus is single, uneven on its surface, and of large size; the fluid
substance within is all uniform in colour, smooth, and in colour white; the
size of the egg is so great as to fill a vessel larger than the creatureâs head. The
sepia has two sacs, and inside them a number of eggs, like in appearance to
white hailstones. For the disposition of these parts I must refer to my
anatomical diagrams.
The males of all these animals differ from the females, and the difference
between the sexes is most marked in the sepia; for the back of the trunk,
which is blacker than the belly, is rougher in the male than in the female, and
in the male the back is striped, and the rump is more sharply pointed.
There are several species of the octopus. One keeps close to the surface,
and is the largest of them all, and near the shore the size is larger than in deep
water; and there are others, small, variegated in colour, which are not articles
of food. There are two others, one called the heledone, which differs from its
congeners in the length of its legs and in having one row of suckers-all the
rest of the molluscs having two,-the other nicknamed variously the bolitaina
or the âonion,â and the ozolis or the âstinkardâ.
There are two others found in shells resembling those of the testaceans.
One of them is nicknamed by some persons the nautilus or the pontilus, or by
others the âpolypusâ eggâ; and the shell of this creature is something like a
separate valve of a deep scallop-shell. This polypus lives very often near to
the shore, and is apt to be thrown up high and dry on the beach; under these
circumstances it is found with its shell detached, and dies by and by on dry
land. These polypods are small, and are shaped, as regards the form of their
bodies, like the bolbidia. There is another polypus that is placed within a shell
like a snail; it never comes out of the shell, but lives inside the shell like the
snail, and from time to time protrudes its feelers.
So much for molluscs.

With regard to the Malacostraca or crustaceans, one species is that of the
crawfish, and a second, resembling the first, is that of the lobster; the lobster
differing from the crawfish in having claws, and in a few other respects as
well. Another species is that of the carid, and another is that of the crab, and
there are many kinds both of carid and of crab.
