Mug 11 oz - Haeckel's Cephalopods

This 11oz ceramic mug features a detailed vintage illustration of cephalopods created Dr. Ernst Haeckel.  It is the 54th plate from his 1904 book Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature). Haeckel was a German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species.  Haeckel orginially classified these cephalopods as "Gamochonia" or “Cephalopoda with ‘tube-funnel’”.

Species names, listed by the name at the time of illustration followed by the current, revised name.  Starting from the 12 o'clock position and moving clockwise:

Chiroteuthis Veranyi (Férussac) = Chiroteuthis veranyi (Férussac, 1835), As seen from below

Histioteuthis Rüppellii (Verany) = Histioteuthis bonnellii (Ferussac, 1835), As seen from above
