How truly doth old Rondeletius speak out of the studies 

 of the marine zoologist : " Immensa et summe admira- 

 bilis Dei potentia atque solertia in rebus coelestibus, iis- 

 que in aere et terra flunt, maxime vero in mari, in quo 

 tarn variae et stupendae rerum formae conspiciuntur, ut 

 quaerendi et contemplandi nullus unquam futurus sit 

 finis."
