disappear more or less completely after 
death, most of the mounted examples 
have been painted. The fishes allied to 
the Perch, Gurnard, Mackerel, Sword- 
Fish, Wrasse, Cod, Plaice, Catfish, 
Salmon, Pike, and Eel are represented 
by numerous examples. Specially 
noticeable, so far as external form is 
concerned, are the Sunfishes, Ortha- 
goriscus (fig. 18). 
Even more strange are several of Deep-sea 
the species of deep-sea Fishes exhibited ^^^hes. 
in a table-case in the Fish gallery, 
which live at depths where the sun's 
rays cannot penetrate, and are con- 
sequently self-luminous. Two of these 
are shown in the accompanying illus- 
trations (figs. 19 and 20). From 
another point of view, great interest is 
concentrated on the Sucker -Fish or 
Eemora {Eclieneis remora), fig. 21, which 
attaches itself by the sucker on 
the top of its head to the bodies of 
Fishes or Turtles, or to the bottom of 
ships. 
The western or left side of the gallery

is devoted to the exhibition of very different types of Fishes, 
much more numerously represented in ancient times than at
