Gated electric apparatus with them But these
were exceptional creatures.
Another popularity Of increasing depth that
was observed is that we'll defined markings, like
bands and spots disappear and the hue of a
fish becomes more uniform, usually brown or
black But over this is often found temporary
veil of greenish blue, which serves to save the
fish from its enemies by making it almost in
visible. This is an instance Of protective color
ing" so frequently observed in other forms Of
life. The general tint of the sea bottom is q
pale green or yellowish green, and when fish
either voluntarily or Involuntary assumes this
hue it can scarcely be detected Many Of the
specimens that were taken from the Pacific
waters by the AIbatross would show this delicate
tint for . short time, but it would prove fugitive,
and soon disappear, especially after the fish was
dropped into alcohol for preservation.
It was also noticed that the lower the habitat
Of the fish the less firm was his tissue. and
the more cartilagrous his bones. The scales
grew thinner too. Some of these characteristics,
like nabbiness doubtless disappear when the fish
is immersed under great pressure. Indeed II
was a singular illustration of the environment
to which they were accustomed that some OF
the fish taken from exceedingly low levels would
actually explode when removed from the water
one Of the most suggestive features Of the re-
search of the Albatross was The comparison OF
Pacific and Atlantic forms OF NE, win i We"
to obtaining light on the possibility Of an open
ing through the isthmus in past ages 1t was
found that the shoaI water types on both sides
resemble each other closely enough to indicate
that in comparatively recent times (oniy few
million years, pArhaps) the land was not so
high as now. on the other hand, likeness be-
( tween the deeper forms Of fish was almost alto
sether lacking. Hence the conclusion: The
weight Of the evidence goes TO suhstantiate the
theory Of a gradual upEeaval Of the isthmu8'
permitting connection in the shoals to a much
more recent date than in the depths, which
would allow the fishes Of the shoaI waters
readily to pass across, while presenting barrier
/ to those Of the deep sea"
! From a purely scientific point of view perhaps
| the most valuable result Of the expedition was
that it upset u certain theory once entertained
regarding the distribution Of fishes in the waters
OF the globe. InasmUch as some of the Arctic
genera were duplicated in the Antarctic it was
suspected that there had been double distri-
button, with a separating belt in the tropics be
tween the two But the AIbatross found lot of
connecting Hnks-ffsh that resembIed those of
the higher ATTITUDES of both hemisUheres, While
species remain distinct, genera either the
same or are closely allied

SUNLIGHT is ABSENT.
Curious revelations regarding life at great
depths in the sea afforded by the report of
the AIbatross expedition of 1891. which has just
got into print as one of the memoirs of the
Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology. The
AIbatross is exploring the Southwestern
Pacific. The survey effected early in 1891
cred a narrow belt near the American coast Of
the same ocean. from point l degree south
of the Equator to % degrees north. The investi-
cation was the first of it's kind to reveal the sit
uation at considerable depths in tropical waters
number of interesting discoveries were made
and the most important related to the forms of
life found at and two miles below the

travis, one-quarter possessed little novelty, be
cause they came from high levels. But 800 We're

100 genera and $50 species, and hardly - per
cent Of them mad been previously described by
naturalists.
The greater depths Of the sea are character
lied by severe cold enormous pressures and a
total absence of sunlight The lowest temper
allure recorded by the Albatross Is. and in
that no fewer than thirty genera Of fish were
found. It is evident that life is abundant at
depths of a mile or two, in spite Of the disad-
vantages that are encountered there. 1t may be
observed in passing that fishes have been found
at a temperature five degrees lower than that
just cited.
Ii is believed that at 4 depth of two hundred
fathoms daylight disappears altogether And yet
the fishes discovered at very low levels We're pro-
vjded with eyes that showed use. Had the sense
