Fig. 99. {upper) The saber-toothed 

 viperfish {Clniiihochis sloaiiei) is 

 typical of the carnivorous creatures 

 of the deep sea. It feeds on shrimps 

 and fish, some of which are almost 

 as large as itself. 



Fig. 100. (lower) Most beautiful of all the flying snails are the shield-shaped Clios, which 

 were seen now and then in the beam of light from the bathysphere.
