The fins already resemble those of the later stages. The other characters are those of a typical, very young larva of Oegopsida. Note the formation of the arms,in which the third and fourth pair are very small tubercles. The earliest postembryonic stage which I have in a well preserved speci- men is shown in Figure 145. It is slightly deformed by contraction during preservation. Figure 146 is a reconstruction based on observation of live animals. The arms and fins are also contracted by preservation (cf. Figure 131). 285.
