Stockings were usually black for daytime wear and white or colored for evening. They were held up by garters. By the end of the century, the garters were attached to the corset. Cotton drawers went over the stockings.
Cephalopods include squid, octopus, cuttlefish, nautilus, spirula, and the extinct ammonites and belemnites. Cephalopods first appear in the fossil record nearly 500 million ago during the Ordovician Period. They are all mollusks, members of the same Phylum Mollusca as oysters, conches, and the common garden snail.
The most highly evolved class of the phylum Mollusca. It consists of squids, cuttlefishes, octopuses, and the chambered nautiluses. The earliest known cephalopods are small, shelled fossils from the Upper Cambrian rocks of northeast China that are 500 million years old. Cephalopods always have been marine, never fresh-water or land, animals.
