A series of specimens showing all stages of growth from the larval to the adult form was secured. 
In the young measuring about 20 mm. the body is perfectly transparent except a broad, vertical, 
silvery band extending across the head and visceral region. Anterior edge of band passes obliquely 
downward and backward, just in front of orbit, to a point a little in advance of insertion of anal fins. 
The posterior boundary extends from nape, behind axil of pectoral, to insertion of anal. Between the 
lateral line and the pectoral is a posterior prolongation of the silvery band, about as large as eye. 
Nape, interorbital space, and a narrow band at base of caudal dusky; a row of dark dots along base 
of anal and a dusky spot -on tip of caudal. The dusky, vertical bands of adult are first seen faintly 
outlined in the young of 31 mm. length; in others, no larger, the color pattern of the adult is per- 
fectly developed. In the young the snout is shorter, anterior profile more rounded, and body deeper 
than in adult; head and body covered with long, narrow, vertically placed, scale-like plates; first dorsal 
spine serrated on anterior edge. Shortly after assuming the adult color, the length being about 32 mm. , 
the serrations of the spine disappear and the plates are replaced by minute scales. 
Teuthis elegans Garman is the young of this species. Living examples of the larval form are 
almost perfectly transparent except the silvery area and dusky spots, there being no blue or red tints.
