Fig. 118. Perhaps the most beautiful fish of the deep sea is this Five-lined Constellation- 

 fish, which has been seen once but never captured. It appeared and vanished at 1900 feet, 

 but remained long enough for me to see the front and sides, and the lines of wonderful 

 golden-yellow lights, each partly or wholly surrounded by purple lamps. In shape it re- 

 calls a butterfly or surgeonfish.
