<JM ANGLESEY MORRIS. Class IV. 



" Raif and Derham, how the several parts of 



" animals are peculiarly formed and adapted 



" to their different modes of living, and the 



" places which they are intended to inhabit; 



" under this idea, I cannot help thinking, that 



" the make of this animal may be accounted 



" for. As those of the specimens I have seen 



" were taken in a dense mass of wrack or sea- 



" weed, I may reasonably conclude that the 



" animal was designed by the Great Author of 



" nature to pass his life in such a situation ; 



" the parts of it were therefore adapted to its 



" condition. The small head is well calculated 



" to lead the way through so intricate a mass ;. 



" its very compressed body to glide between 



" the numerous folds and confined! passes, 



" formed by the frequent ramifications of these 



' f vegetables ; its large eyes to discover its mi- 



" nute prey in the gloom of so dense a grove, 



" when without doubt, feet, wings, and rudder, 



" that is to say, caudal, pectoral, and ventral 



" fins, are not only useless, but would be abso- 



" lute incumbrances." 



In addition to the proofs which Mr. Davies 

 has here produced of the existence of this fish, 

 we have the unexpected satisfaction of intro- 

 ducing one more; for this we are obliged to 

 the attention of John Lloyd Esq. of Gwlg Fair,
