New York Tlmis.
Ainoii } , ' tlip many niiinmls tlmt attract -
tract nttoiitioit from their seemingly
amiaitiiniil npponrnticc , none nro so
little , nnd nt the same time so well
known in n gonor.il way , na these
furmiiiK the class Cohimlonoeio
namely , squills , cuttlo-fish , etc. They
nro i > rincipally known to the onornl
public na forming the mntorinl upon
wliich Victor lluijo based his ro-
mnnco , "Tho Toilers of the Sen , " but
the history of their lives and habits , nnd
the story of their ancestry , has only
boon written by the scientist , nnd
often couched in language by no
means ittracllvo to the unscientific
reader. So it is tlmt the ' 'squids , "
' 'dovil-tishes , ' "calnmrs , " "poulpes , "
etc. , nro terms strnngoly confounded
and conveying various startling meun-
ings to the avoni e reader. The class
includes the squid , octopus , spiruln ,
nautilus , and argonaut among living
forms , and such extinct creahnes as
the orthoceros , goniatites , nmmonitioR ,
etc. Tiiu tmost collection ot
the first mentioned , probably ,
in this or ntiy other country
can be seen in the museum of Vide
college , while the Hall collection of
fossils in the museum nt Central pink
is oxtrutuoly rich in the extinct forms.
The squids are the most striking
members of the class , and , especially
the gigantic one ? , might , unit be called
the kings of the mohmra , both on ac
count of tlieir size nnd the fact that
they form a part , of the highest di
vision of the animals we commonly
call "sheila. " Although these huge
creatures have only been thoroughly
examined by scientific men within a
few years , they were heralded by the
most oxtrumlinary descriptions by
writers like Hugo and Miclielet , who
relied upon imhllbrent. information
and sailor's yarns for their material ,
and when facts seemed insuiUcicnt
their rare imaginative powers were
brought into piny with telling cllbct.
The latter writer refers to the squid in
the following : "In the more ancient
formations of the world we find two
murderers ,
A Sll'l'EltXI > A SL'L'KKU.
The first is revealed to us by the im
print of the trilobite , nil order now
lost , the most destructive of extinct
beings. The second subsists in one
gigantic fragment , a beak nearly two
feet long , wliich was that of a great
sucker or cuttle-fish ( Sepia ) If the
other parts nro in proportion it must
have been enormous , its vcntoso invincible
vinciblenrms or perhaps twenty or
thirty feet , like these of some mon
strous spider. The sucker of the
world , soft nnd gelatinous , it is him
self. In making war upon the mol-
Inska he remains mollusk himself ,
that is tc say , always an embryo He
presents the strange , almost ridicu
lous , if it was not also terrible , ap-
pearnnue of an embiyo going to
war ; of a fetus furious and cruel ,
soft and transparent , but tenacious ,
breathing with a mur lerous breath ,
for it is no * for food alone that it
makes war ; it hiis the wish to destroy.
Satiated and even bursting , it still
destroys. Without defensive armor
under ts threatening inurmers there
is no peace : ts safety h to attack. It
regards nil people nsa possible enemy.
It throws about its long arms , or
rather thongs , armed v > ith suckers at
random. "
Pliny , Aristotle , and , later , Olnus
Magnus nnd Donip de Montfort did
much to throw a halo of romance
nbout these creatures. Pliny the an
cient relates his history of an enor
mous cuttle-fish which haunted the
coast of Spain , destroying the fishing
grounds and causing great loss , as well
as terror , to the' followers of the
craft. Ho states that the monster was *
finally taken , and that it weighed
1,500 pounds , and that its arms were
thirty feet in length , This , as later
developments have shown , was within
the bounds of possibility. A well-
authenticated fact is related bv Lieu
tenant Buyer , of the French navy. M.
Sabin P.erthelot also read a paper on
it before the Academie des Sciences.
Lieutenant Bayer's ship was between
Teherille and Maderia when she fell
in with a gigantie "calmany , " not less
according to the account , than fifty
feet long , without reckoning its
f > rmidu''lr ' arniH , covered with
suckers , nnd about twenty feet in
circumference at the largest part ,
the head terminating in many arms of
enormous si/c , the other extremity
terminating in two 11 shy lobes , or
tinsof great size , the weight of the
whole boliitt estimated nt 4,000
pounds ; the flesh was so't , glutinous ,
und of redish brick color. The com
mandant wishing , in the interests of
science , to secure the monster , ac
tually engaged it in battle. Numer
ous shots were aimed nt it , but ihe
balls traversed its Ihccid and glutin
ous mass without causing it any vital
injury. Hut after one of these at
tacks the waves were observed to bo
COVKRJili WITH FOAM AND III.OOI ) ,
And , singular to relate , n strong odor
of musk was inhaled by the lookers
on. The musket shots not having
produced the desired results , harpoons
wore employed , but they tonic no hold
on the soft , impalpable flush of the
marine mounter. Whim it escaped
from the harpoon it dived under
the ship and came up on the
other side. They succeeded at
lust in getting ulmrpnon to lakonnd in
pausing a bow-line around the poste
rior of the liinnril , lint when they at
tempted to hoint it out of the water
thr rope penetrated deeply into the
flesh and upparated it into two parU
thu head , with the a nun and tentacles ,
dropping into the sea and making off ,
uhile thu fins and posterior p-irts
were brought on hoard , and found
to weigh over forty pounds. The
erow were payer to give chasit ,
and would lm\o launched a boat , but
thu capUin refused , fearing tlmt the
animal might e.ipni/o it. They judged
that it carried at leant a liurrel of ink
ormipU. Prof. Yen ill , of Vale , has
investigiti'd the history of these crea
tures with crcat thoroughness , and
referring In u.irlior account of them ,
he gives great credit to I'jofeofior
KtPimhtrup for his works on the sub
ject The hitler has given uu
counts of many extremely largo
specimen * In one found l > y
Captain IlygHin , in 18(15 ( , the pen
wim six li'i'f in length. Accordins , '
ti .lefl'ry , a Jingo cophalupod was
stranded in I HI HI , between Hillnwick
and Kualloway , on thu west coast of
Shetland. "From a fomiimnicatLn
fiom ProfcHHor Allman , "
nays Verrlll , ' 'tho tonlaclea wore six
teen feel long , the pedal arms nbout
half tlmt length , nnd the nmntlo SAC
seven feet ; the mnntlo was terminated
by fins. " Such is llio gonoml history
of the giant squids in pnat yearn
monger enough but within the
Inst few years numerous ac
counts have come io the public
ear from the coast of Newfoundland
ot largo annuls , nnd finally , in 18711 ,
Professor Vcrrill secured a specimen
that was captured in Conception bay ;
later , one was cnpturcd nt St. John ,
nnd finnlly over twenty of these mon
sters have been examined , but owing
to the ignorance of the findorn , many
of these have been mutilated. The
squid referred to ns having been cap
tured in Conception bay wns the
Architenthis ilnryeyl. It attacked
two fishermen in their bont. They
defended themselves with hatchets ,
and ono of tlie arms cut oil' in thu
fight was over sixteen feet long , nnd
they estimated that the entire nnima'
would weiijJi oyor 2,000 pounds.
It is only occasionally tlmt these
monsters venture to attack fishermen ,
but Mr. Harvey says that on the 2d
of November , 187 ! ' , Stephen Slier-
ring , a fisherman residing in Thimble
Tickle , was out in n boat with two
others ; not far from the shore they
observed some bulky object , and sup
posing it might be apottum of n wreck
rowed toward it , nnd to their horror
found themselves close to n lingo fish
having large , glassy eyes , which
was inakini' despoiato efforts to
escape , and churning the water
into a foam by thu motion of its im
mense arms and tail. It was aground ,
and the tide was ebbing. From the
funnel at the back of head it was
ejecting largo volumes of water , tliis
being its method of moving backward ,
tlie force of thu stream by the reaction
of tlie surrounding medium driving it
in the required direction ; nt times tlie
wnter from the siphon wns ns black as
ink. Finding the monster partially
disabled , the fishermen plucked up
courage and ventured near enough to
throw thu grapnel of their bout , the
sharp flukes of which , having b.irbod
points ,
SANK INTO 111K hOlT 1IOIIV.
To the grapol they had attached a
stout rope which they cniried nshoro
aud fastened to a tree so as to prevent
the fish from going out with tlie tide.
It wan n happy thought , for the devil
fish found himself effectually moored
to tlie shore. Hu struggles were ter-
lific as he flung his ten arms around
in dying nirony. The fisliornmn took
c.irc to keep at a respectable distance
from the long tantanles wliich wore
ever nnon darting out like great
tongues from tlie central mass. '
At length it became exhausted ,
and as the water wont
out it died. It was tlio largest
specimen ever taken , the body alone
measuring twenty foot from the beak
to the extremity of the t.iil ; one of thu
arms wns thiity-livo feet in length ,
and thu whole animal was twice ns
large as the one exhibited at the Now
Yoik Aquarium. From these ac
counts it would seem that tlie maxi
mum length of these gi.ints of the sea ,
as far as known , is from fifty-five to
sixty feet , but there is no reason to
doubt tliat they greatly exceed this liv
ing in the greater depth of tlio ocean.
A great number of species arc known ,
but most of them are extremely
small , when compared to the giant
squid of the North Atlantic , many of
them be ng over a foot in length ; hut
in general appearance they resemble
their liugo relative. Their power of
throwing ink and water from the
siphon must bo great ; the writer has
observed a small squid throw a stream
three feet from tlio water with dito
oflecf upon an enthusiastic naturalist
Tlie black , staring eye , nearly as largo
na a plate in the largo ones , pre
sents a striking appearance , resemb
ling greatly that organ in vertebrate
animals ; but the resemblance is super
ficial , as the oyc of the squid is form
ed upon the same plan as that of the
snail. The bills resemble those of a
parrot , only larger , and the upper one
fits into the lower. Strnngo to say ,
the pen that supports the ludy of the
giant squid is oxtrcmoly fragile , while
in tlie small sepia of the Mediterran
ean sea it is formed of limestone , and
fumiliar ns the "cuttlo-fish bone" of
commerce.
Tlio Octopus , also called thu devil
fish , though a blood relation , is an
entirely difl'eront animal. The former
have ten arms , while tlie latter , as
their name indicates , Jmvo only eight.
It is also a bottom animal , like a huge ,
uncanny spider , crawling about , in
serting its arms and body into crevices
seemingly one-third its size. The
body appears like an oval bag , nnd is
often raised , from wliich extend tht
eight arms lined with suckers , in
tlio midst of which is tlio mouth and
bills. They often show great varia
tion of color , various tints following
each other over their bodies in quick
succession , while the eyes seem to
flash with u green , baleful h < > lit.
They Jiavo no pen , and tlieir power
is shown in the fact that in 1877 a
largo ono caught an Indian woman at
Victoria and carried her into deep
water , where she was found Jiours after -
ter still in tlio embrace of tlie
monster. Tlie Octopus Punctatus
lias boon found to expand four
teen feet , and one was observed at
Sitka tlmt had a radical spread of
nearly twenty-eight feet. This species
is common in the markets at San
Francisco , where it is eaton by the
1'rench. ' Number.- fine spaciniuns
of thuso creatures can be seen in thu
collection of tlio museum at Central
Park , and Ya'e ' possesses a specimen
that , though only four feet long , weighs
fomteen and a half pounds.
