fitting material. In the net were contained three 

 female Hyases burdened with eggs, and several 

 hippocampids, one of which was a male, bearing in 

 his pouch a number of young. On the plank, at- 

 tached to a clump of red, hair-like seaweed I came 

 upon a cluster of finger-shaped cocoons containing 

 the eggs of a squid ; also I found fixed to the wood 

 a group of tiny flower-like forms, the larvae of 

 Aurelia, the beautiful moon-jelly.
