aerated, not fish was lost in transpor-
tation, and they arrived in Boston in
such excellent condition that, they were
transferred Immediately to the display
tanks.
Fish making their homes in tropical
waters are in general more handsomely
or unusually marked than those inhab-
iting the waters in the colder zones,
and this new collection will add much
to interest those who visit the aquarium.
Among the most handsomely marked
fish in the collection is the prokfish,
with two black stripes over the Shout
der and blue and yellow stripes along
the sides; the sergeant major with his
blue tail; the grey and green striped
grunt; the yellow tail; the little blue
angel fishes, and the tiger rock and
groupers, which are skilled in the CAM
oufieur's art, changing their color ond
their markings to blend with the color
of the rocks.
In the collection are also many
unique specimens, including the spinal
fish, called quite commonly the porcu-
pine from the spines projecting from
his back; the common trigger, which is
constantly cooking trigger on the
back of his neck, and the queen trig-
ger, with blue stripes over the nose
and blue fins; the runner, which
shoots rapidly through the water
and has wings, as if he were about to
fly, but never does; the rock hind, GOV.
cred with dots; the surgeon fish, with
dark stripes like a zebra and called the
zebra in some aquariums; the .cowfish
entirely incased in a shell, with horns
on the back of its head, and with fins
and tail growing from the shell, which
seem to be the only things about it thai
move; and by no means the least, the
ferocious green moray, found mostly II
the waters of Bermuda, and said to b.
the fercest of the fish family. Thu
green moray often reaches length o.
II feet, is type of sea serpent, and ii
long, smooth and green. When it lie
motionless against the rocks that form
the background of the display tank, i
seems, until it moves, like a long, greer
plant that might grow on the bottom o

of the type mentioned.
Just what faults have been disclosed

material and Workmanship remains TO
be disclosed The fact remains that Gen
