34 BRAIN AND BODY OF FISH 



Now, after all these years, a study of the brain of this group of 

 the carp family reveals that they have a brain pattern characteristic 

 of plankton-feeding fish in addition to many similar external 

 characters. 



In the next chapter we propose to study the pattern of the brain 

 of Engraulicypris and bleak by the method of serial microscopic 

 sections, and we shall find the great importance of this method in 

 unravelling the intricacies of the central connections of the organs 

 of special sense and their relative size.
