II may seem absurd to speak Of fishes
as walking. The ti,ingtish is we'll
known, but its flight locks much like
swimming i'll the air. We naturally
think of fishes as III ing all the time in
water: as being incapable, in fact, of
living anywhere else. But nature
maintains no hard and fast lines Of dis
.inction between animal life which be
longs on the land and that which be
longs to the water. If we can believe
the accounts Of natilralists and there
are no grounds for doubling them
there are fishes that traverse dry land
and others that walk on the bottom Of
the sea.

of India, has collected several instances
of the migration of fishes by land from
one piece of water to another. Layard

He saw score OF gurnards close their
