The Cephalopods Of The Northeastern Coast Of America Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Report on the Cephalopods of the Northeastern Coast of America, Vol. 1 The early literature of Natural History has, from very remote times, contained allusions to huge Species of Cephalopods, often accompanied by more or less fabulous and usually exaggerated descriptions of the creatures.* In a few instances' figures were attempted, which were largely indebted to the imagination of their authors for their more striking peculiarities. In recent times many more accurate observers have confirmed the existence of such monsters, and several fragments have found their way into European museums.
