CAUGHT ORTHAeoRIsCUs.
A Rotund Creature, seldom Seen By
IAndsmen, Brought Ashore.

40aO80e0, 0TOukAt ASA0IS.
New York, July 30.-An orthagoriscus
was brought ashore by two hshermen
near Seabright ana excited curiosity
and speculation among the summer
bearders and cottagers who viewed 1t.
The peculiar creature weighed over $50
pounds and was five feet long by six
feet wide. The fishermen dubbed 1t
first and then landed it with a gah
hook This Gus is one OF the aaeerest
looking creatures found IA the Atlantic
1t is commonly known as the ocean
sunffsh and the specimen caught is one
OF a species called Orthagorfscus naola
and Mola rotunda. [See the dictionary
1t has no more tail than a toad, but
extreme length of the dorsal and anal
fins.
It's mouth Is small and Is supplied with
sharp teeth deeply imbedded in the
gums. It's eyes are large and brilliant
and its body is oval in section with 4
of the fish excluding the fins. While
this fish seems to be constructed to
swim vertically. it is never seen except
when lying fiat upon the surface OF the
water with its fms idly Mapping upon
the waves, which break over 1T. 1t is
easily approached with q boat and IL
cons picuous when the sun shines upon
its glisteninE Sides
Specimens weighing over 800 pounds
have been harpooned in New England
waters, but no use is ever made of
them. The flesh Is coarse and tough
and there is little oil In the creature
Sunfish are seldom brought ashore after
they are killed and in consequence they
are rarely seen by 1andsnnen and create
much speculation as to their Identity.
Almost everybody who sees one on the
sand wants to pry 1t up to see whether
1t has not q long tail buried.
