like that of the coral T.oIypi. The most
important sponge fish cries are those in
the Grecian Archipe lago, and on the
snores Of Syria, although the commodity
is also obtained from the Red Sea, the
Gulf OF Mexico, and to some extent along
the whole Mediterranean coast. The
sponge has beco me so valuable as an ar
ticle Of commerce that the fisheries have
been nearly exhausted in order 70 supply
the demand; and unless artificial cult
walton is resorted to, it is probable thai
the sponge will soon entirely disappear
The poorer qualities are found in shallow
water, and torn from the rocks by mean
of three forked-harpoons; but the fine
kinds, which grow at depth of from
twelve to twenty fathoms, are brought ri
by divers, and have to be carefully de
