3O Flying-fish Sword-fish. 



Halibut. Flyingr-fish. 



Sword-fish. Mackerel. 



50. Did you ever see a flying-fish ? I'll show 

 you a picture of one on the blackboard, about 

 ten inches in length. They are found in the 

 Mediterranean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, 

 and warm parts of the ocean. Their long fins 

 enable them to fly out of the water as high as 

 the decks of ships, on which they sometimes 

 fall. 



51. Another singular fish is the sword-fish, 12 

 to 20 feet in length. (Here is a drawing of a 

 very small one three feet long.) 



It is so fierce, and so swift in motion, that it 

 drives its sword, a long, sharp, bony substance, 

 into a fish which it wishes to capture. It has 

 been known to attack a ship and bury its wea- 

 pon deep in the timbers. 



SPELL AND DEFINE Flying-fish, sword-fish, 

 Mediterranean, Mexico, weaoon. timbers, deck.
