A living AVest African Mud Fish Protopterus annectens, from the 

 River Gambia. As the dry season approaches, these fish bury in the 

 mud, and become torpid. They are dug up in balls of clay, and so can be 

 readily transported long distances, and on being placed in tepid water, 

 the balls melt away and set the enclosed fish free, which immediately 

 swims away at ease, and will feed readily on small li\dng fish. This 

 Mud Fish lived for several months, grew considerably, and was an 

 object of much interest.
