-LocOnotive Organs That Exhibit
Truly Interesting Features
and Constructors.

Fish, as every one knows, have their
organs adapted for swimming, 80 that
they exhibit arrangements very unfs-
vorable for any other kind of locomo-
ton. However, q few most interesting
exceptions are observed. Certain types
find themselves forced, either by sur
rounding circumstances or for seeking
food, to leave the water for a certain
length Of time.
Thus the flying fish is adapted both
for flying and swimming, and there
are others that are truly walkers. We
may mention the Maltha, Brazilian
fish. which most certainly attains the
highest degree of differentiation in
this direction. We have had specimen
of it in our hands which came from
Bahia, and we profit by it 20 call at
tention to the most curious peculiar
tiles that it exhibits. In the accom-
panying engraving one of the figures
gives a view of the ventral side and

forced by its very organization to walk.
or perhaps to hop after the manner of
toads, of which it has vaguely the ex-
ternal form. The head, which is very
large, is provided at its anterior part
with bony spine, at the base of which
are situated the nasal apertures The
bronchial orifices are small apertures
situated wholly in the dorsal surface,
as In the Callionymes, SO that the water
can remain for 4 long time In the
bronchial chambers "a circumstance
very favorable for species so frequently
at q distance from water.
The entire body, save the ventral
wall and the tail, is covered with bony
plates, forming q very ornamental
cu;rass. Behind the hind members the
body tapezs considerably, SO as to re-
semble tail terminating in feshy
fin. Upon the dorsal crest there are
observed three or four little spines, the
