Add to basketAn unusual specimen of a female cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis L.) is described that was found with a large mass of black egg-case material hanging from the funnel and mantle-cavity. The animal was sexually mature but there were no eggs in the egg-casing. The possibility is discussed that a failure of timing in the egg-laying pro…cess had occurred. Associated with the egg-case material was an actinian (Aiptasia sp.). 3 pp., 1 pl., gr. 8.
