********** 1896 This design is pictured, but not named, in Eleonore Heerwart's 'Course in Paperfolding', which was first published by Charles and Dible in London and Glasgow in 1896.
********** 1900 Another version of the design appears as 'Drachen' (The Dragon) in 'Die Frobelschen Beschaftigungen: Das Falten' by Marie Muller-Wunderlich, which was published by Friedrich Brandstetter in Leipzig in 1900. It is very similar to the Squid.
********** 1936 The design appears as 'Flunder' (Flounder) in 'Allerlei Papierarbeiten' by Hilde Wulff and Carola Babick, which was published in Leipzig and Berlin in 1936.
