2U ANGLESEY MORRIS. Class IV. 



" Ray 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; 

 V 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 

 c f 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 

 e 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."

 the attention of John Lloyd Esq. of Gzvig Fair,
