[[circled]] 13 [[/circled]] [[circled]] 13 [[/circled]] Ceph., June 11, 1971, X back toward both me and companions. Followed by P's with same color pattern. P-E-P and E-P sequences may be typical. Then the group of 7 smalls joins the others. Two mediums do P's back to back. One also does E. Very extreme WS's by both. Smalls do P's to one another. Suddenly there is a general panic. Apparently triggered by fish movements. Escapes with both WS & Y. A few minutes later, one of the mediums goes "dymantic" ("DM") Can't see what provokes this. Whole of fins becomes colorless or whitish, except for 2 large dark spots toward rear. (Possibly these spots are on sides of body rather than fins. But I don't think so.) [[image - drawing of squid with large spots on the rear]] Perhaps with trace of E. Some time during this general period, one of the mediums assumes a "devilfish" posture after performing P.
