HD's of X

Body moves up and down in jerks

The HD's can be with Dull or Dull & CL.

NOTE: While the X's are in HD, the Sepiots have body more or less horizontal.  I.E. HD position is not simply a reaction to current.

1:32.  Group has moved out into deeper water now.  Perhaps 10 ft.  But the animas are still staying near the bottom.

There certainly are more than 10 X's here.  Possibly 25 or more (vis. 3 or 4 times that number of Sepiots).

Several X's in Dull & CL suddenly flash Y and retreat.  The Y of this species really is very conspicuous indeed.  When seen from above, the silver spots surrounded by dark are quite


Transcription Notes:
Page dominated by image of four squid: Three in HD posture, tentacles pointing down below head, pen pointing up at 46 - 60 degree angle. Left and center squid face left, right squid faces right. Fourth squid below row of three is shown from below, with incomplete pen pointing to bottom right corner. Dark shading at base of pen/head forms eyespots. each squid has own caption.
