Abstract Sepioteuthis bilineata (Quoy and Gaimard, 1832) (Mollusca : Cephalopoda : Loliginidae), were observed in February 1970 laying egg capsules on an artificial reef off Goat Island, Leigh, Northland, New Zealand. The behaviour of the squid throughout the procedure of capsule placement is described. A description of the egg mass and the newly hatched squid is also given.
