FRONT COVER. A large Deepstaria enigmatica scypho-
zoan jellyfish is imaged up close at 974 m depth off of
San Benedicto Island, Revillagigedo Archipelago, Mexico,
on E/V Nautilus cruise NA092. This specimen, measuring
approximately 55 cm across, was approached in almost
complete darkness and remained undisturbed for several
minutes, at which point it closed its umbrella and turned
to present itself in high detail. An intricate network of
anastomosing canals, assumed to be part of its digestive
tract, is clearly visible. Image credit: D. Fornari (WHOI-MISO
