 is found on the ooast 

 of Guinea, and in tho 

 Indian Ocean. Like

THE LUMP SUCKER. 



This fish derives its name from the clumsiness of its form : its height 

 being about half its length, and its thickness about half its height. 



These fish are very remarkable for the manner in which their ventral 

 fins are arranged. They are united by a membrane so as to form a 

 kind of oval and concave disc, by means of which they are enabled to 

 adhere with great force to any substance to which they apply themselves. 

 It is found on the coast of Greenland.
