RESTING InteIIIaenee Of FIsh,


There are not many precise data
in regard to the intelligence of fishes.
Some observers say they can be
trained little; others, like Edinger,
deny them even memory 1t seems
that the brain, of bony fishes In par
ticular, remains at low grade.
NJ. Oxner has recently made some
interesting observations at the Ocea-
biographical museum at Monaco, with
fish called coris julis. When be dis
guised the hook perfectly he caught
the same fish as often as he pleased.
But that only proved that the dis
guise was perfect and that the fish
was hungry. In another set of expert
ments he used an equally well hidden
hook, but placed a piece of red paper
on the outline couple OF inches
above It.
For the first week the fish remained
Indifferent. on the eighth, ninth, tenth
and eleventh days 1t took the bait; on
the twelfth day 1t refused the bait till
the red paper was removed; on the
thirteenth. fourteenth and fifteenth
days 1t refused the bait with the red
paper. though 1t examined it careful
ly; on the sixteenth day and on the
following six days It began by snap
ping at the red paper. and then turn
ing to the hook bit on the bait in
small scraps without any hurry and
with thousand precautions-Knowl-
