Animal life exists in the underground waters and is onlj' .seen incidentally. Thus the vol- 

 canes of the equator throw up periodically large quantities of fishes of which but little is 

 known. The mud volcanos of Guatemala likewise emit fishes yet undcscribed. Wo are 

 aware by the inspection cf the .socalled " Cenotes '' of Yucatan that in the sheets of subter- 

 ranean water of that region are to be lonnd fishes of various kinds. In California the arte- 

 sian wells furnish fishes, of whose (-haraeter, however, we know but little. 



Explorers of those regions ought to devote some of their time to the investigation of these 

 matters.

The fact that certain fishes ])ossess the singular faculty of emitting given sounds within 

 the element in which they live is well known. The names of Qurnards, Grunters, Croaken 

 Drums, and similar appellations by which they are usually designated have been uamed with 

 reference to the soiuids they emit. 



Extraordinary sounds attributed to a fish are reported upon by Lieutenant (iilliss, U.S. 

 Na\y. as follows : 



"During the following summer of 1852 — a submarine phenomenon attracted no little atten- 

 tion among the residents and visitors at Caldera, of which more than one account reached 

 Santiago. One correspondent wrote me: 'The night I stopped at Caldera I went at half 

 past 11 o'clock to hear the submarine music, aod I confess it has astonishedme. Though 

 the position is neither graceful nor comfortable, on lying down in the boat and jdacing your 

 ear ui)on the bottom you hear it in its perfection. I stuck to it for a long time and was 

 charmed indeed. It has now been pretty well ascertained that it conies from fish, which 

 gather in great number on a quiet and retired spot on the bay, and as each one produces 

 a single note, the most soft and charming harmony results, resembling the .aColian liar]) 

 nearer than anything to which lean compare it. If we suppose the sounds to be produced 

 by fisli, that will also account for the difterent localities where they are heard. On my 

 return to Caldera I will endeavor to obtain tbe name by which the fish is known there, if
