ments. feeding and breeding habits
OF these creatures are all extremely
curious, and ar we'll described by
Or. Gil:
Generally at Rest.
The most frequent position assumed
is state OF rest, with the tail wound
arourd the stem OF plant or other
substance, and the body carried nearly
OF quite erect 49, but notwithstand-
ing the apparent rigid,ty of its cut
rass-like body armor, almost every
other attitude consistent with such
a form can be assumed. The body
can be thrown outward or downward
at various angles, the tail heing wound
around a plant 10 double coil Once
in while one eye may roll toward
the observer, while the other may
be passive or look backward or even
in the opposite direction. The little
fish can move its eyes independently
of each other, and III entirely dtiier-
ent WAYS. A comical effect IS pro-
duccd bv the manner in which these
fishes peer at some objects, reminding
pne of very near sighted person.
Releasing itself from its support
Il can nrocress SLOWLY, still in YER
t;cal position. its tail curved inward,
lis dorsal fin rapidly undulating, re
minding one OF screw propeller, and
with its pectoral fms vibrating in har-
mony.
lncased as it is in an almost IN
flexible coat OF mail, progression can,
not he effected BY lateral flexion OF
the body as in ordinary fishes, and
with the ilexion in vertical direc-
non is limited.
