[NL., Gr. κεφαλή, head, + πούς (ποδ-) = E. foot.] A cla of the Mollusca, the highest in organization in that division of the animal kingdom, characterized by having the organs of prehension and locomotion, called tentacles or arms, attached to the head. They are divided into two sections, Tetra branch i at a and Dib ranch i at a. The nauti lus and the fo il genera Orthoceras, Ammonites, Goniatites, etc., belong to the Tetra branch i at a, in which the animal has an external shell. The dibranchiate group includes the argonaut, the octopus or eight-armed cuttlefish, and the ten-armed forms, as the calamaries, the fo il belemnites, etc. The shell is in all these internal, in some rudimentary, but the female argonaut ids develop an eggcase as a sort of external papery shell. The fo il Cepha lopoda are multitudinous. See cuts under Dib ranch i at a and Tetra branch i at a.
