LAMPER "EEL" 285 



on the Canyo del Toro we saw about ten specimens, always 

 of the same floating-stick appearance, and captured four. 



THE LAMPER "EEL," as the Lamprey is very frequently 

 called, is not a true eel of any sort, and it will be found in its 

 proper place, immediately following the fishes. It is so low 

 in the zoological scale that for it and kindred forms a separate 

 Class has been provided.
