I have long been an admirer of the octopus. The cephalopods are very old, and they have slipped, protean, through many shapes. They are the wisest of the mollusks, and I have always felt it to be just as well for us that they never came ashore,...

The plural of "octopus" is "octopuses", "octopi" is acceptable but technically incorrect and "octopodes" is preferred to "octopi" but is rarely used. "Octopii" is definitely wrong.
