FISH WITH WINGS AND BEAK
A CyPRnO de BerWcrac In the Ocean
Has been Discovered.

Flying fish, called by naturalists
"exoc9tus." are common sight to all
voyagers IN tropical and subtropical
Eeas. Their usual length Is from 10 TO
l. inches. though one 1S inches long
has recently been described. They are
enabled TO execute flying leaps by
means of the great development of
their forward or pectoral fins. During
flight the fins are kept quietly dlstend.

Is rapid greatly exceeding that OF n

Another curious fish Is the halfbeak.
which has an extraordinarily long pro
tuberance from the end of the lower
jaw. They usually attain length of
about foot. or course they have not
the power OF fight as the flying fishes
have. Yet naturalists considered them
closely related to the flying fish. The
relationship has been fully confirmed
by unique specimen discovered In the
ARCHAEOLOGICAL collection of the Acade-
my OF Natural Sciences and named
"Hemiexocntus candtmaculatus," or
'the half flying fish with spotted
tail"
This curious creature, although only
q little over an inch In length. Is Ger
tainly one of the most interesting dis
coyeries recently made IN iehthyoiogy.
1t has tail and large forward fms
exactly like the dying fish. but its head
Is wholly different. for the lower jaw
Is extended into curious beaklike
structure. the mouth being at rs base.
In this respect it exactly resembles the
halfbeak.
Hemiexocntus IL therefore an inter.
mediate form connecting two impor.
tant groups Of fishes, and his advent
upon the archaeological horizon will no
doubt be hailed with much interest. as
it Is just such forms as these that are

OF them have yielded rich ores and
then have been deserted and entirely

covered by accident in the eighties by
two Englishmen. The finders had en-.
camped one night and had. as they
thought. securely tethered their horses
when they suddenly heard loud neigh
from one of the animals and moment
later saw them both racing away ap-
parently In the greatest terror.
Soon after dawn they were up and
after an hours tramp found one Of the
poor beasts lying on the ground with a
broken leg. In Its struggles 1t had
kicked up the ground and had exposed

The two men marked the spot and
returned to the district month later
to start work on the mine. But In
spite of all their efforts they could not
find the place. and to this day the nina
has not been rediscovered.
In the late seventies there was tire.
