Professor Baird, of Washington. has Just
received from Oxford University, England,
a specimen of an aquatic plant holding in
its fond embrace a considerable number Of
small fish, which it had caught and killed.
This plant is the great bladderwort known
to botanists as Ulrichpjnja FWgaris. The
species is widely distributed over Eng
land. and has been introduced into our
waters where it is often found in abund-
ance in fresh water ponds and bitches, and
in the sh0al water COvcS along our river
banks. 1t is a large plant with stems often
attaining q length of two or three feet 1t
has no roots. but floats free in the water,
the root. like It's branches, being covered
with pinnatifid capillary leaves, each bear
ing one or more transparent hollow blad-
ders, with openings at one end which
serve as traps to catch newly-hatched
fishes, minute cTustacea, worms and
infusOria. 1t has no digestive apparatus
but il is thought to derive nutriment by
absorbing from the decompOSing ANIMALS.
The bladderwOrt has long been known to
catch the lower forms of animal life, but 1t
was only recently that its fisll-catching pro
pensities were discovered. c. L. Sims, OF
| oxford. was the first To call public atten-
ton to the fact, on finding that 4 specimen
| that had been placed in his aquarium for
supplying oxygen to the water was actually
catching and killing 4 large number Of
! newly Matched perch and roach which had
| latchcd from 4 mass of eggs lying at the
! bottom. The little fish were usually caught
| BY the head, but some were caught by the
| tail, while others were doubly trapped, the
| head being held fast by one trap and the
| tail graspcd By another, the fish forming q
| connecting bar between the two. To learn
something Of lis destructive powers,
