fishes inhabiting what are called the
abyssal zones have only rudimentary
ewes. but have long feelers, which en-
able them to grope their way along the
bottom of the sea. The reason that
fishes and mollusks living even three
miles under the surface of the water
are able to bear the pressure of the
waves above them, which amounts to
several tons to the square incn, is be-
cause they have exceedingly loose It's
sues, which allow the water to flow
through every interstice and thus to
equalize their weight. Indeed, it is as
serted that when this pressure is re-
moved they perish. The account OF the
