GRKATER FLYING FISH. 
apparatus of flight is so applied to the other organs of the 
body, that the scapula and fin with all the appliances of muscular 
structure can without difficulty be divided, except at the upper 
part, from the other muscles which form the foremost portion of 
the body of the fish; for the connection of the former is only 
constituted by a portion of cellular membrane. The eye of these 
fishes is so formed and placed as to take in extensive but not 
distant vision; and the muscles which move the eye are more 
distinct, firm and strong, than is generally the case in fishes. 
The air-bladder is large.
