FISH MANIFEST MIND-BLENDING 175 

 sapng that these, whatever be their indivi- 

 dual impressions as to the actual cause which 

 induces salmon to rise and take the fly and 

 other baits, will bear me out in these par- 

 ticulars. 



Fish, when in company (schools), manifest 

 very clearly the telepathic mind-blending 

 phenomenon. This will be apparent when 

 observing the movements of a packed mass of 

 recently hatched fry, such as minnows, or sea- 

 fry of any kind. As in the case of the birds^ 

 the action of each tiny atom synchronizes with 

 the movements of his fellows, which causes 

 the massed units to move as one body. This 

 appearance is best seen when the fish are 

 swimming in mid-water, clear and still.
