scant opportunity, breaking the stone
wall of circumstances, environment

Evidently its strong ventral fin can
be. used in such way as to plunge

dorsal fin comes into play, and high

That the sun-fish is capable of very
rapid motion when totally submerged
is proven by the fact that it captures
swift fish as the long-bodied silver
ling.
The ordinary food Of the sun-fish,
Or at least favorite food, consists OF
