Mollusca

Octopus ornatus



Octopus furvus



Octopus mimus (detail)




Octopus megalocyathus



Octopus tetricus




Onychoteuthis rutilus



These illustrations are details taken from plates out of 'Molluscs and Shells' (1852-1856) at Botanicus by conchologist, malacologist and physician, Augustus Addison Gould. The book was part of a multi-volume series resulting from the United States Exploring Expedition of 1838-1842.

There can never be too many cephalopods.

Addit: Oops, forgot to say, previously: CEPHALOPODA
