In front of tank 10 is a little open trough. Lying 
on or half buried in the shingle is an Electric Ray 
( Torpedo , p. 70) from which shocks may be taken. 
The fingers should be placed under the broad part 
of the body, the thumb above, and the animal 
squeezed or otherwise ill-treated. — Frequently 
among the shingle are small white pointed objects, 
about two inches long, looking not unlike split 
sardines. These are Lancelets ( Amphioxus , p. 66). 
Fishes. Coiling among old pottery both the Roman 
Eel ( Muraena , p. 79), with fine markings, and the 
Conger ( Conger , p. 79), dark-coloured. 
Fishes. Gobies ( Gobius , p. 76), small and spiny; they 
serve as food for Skates ( Raja, p. 71) and Electric- 
Rays [Torpedo , p. 70). Both of these are flat and 
nearly hidden in the sand; the skate grey with 
pointed snout, the electric ray brown, in one species 
ocellata) with five large spots, its head is semi¬ 
circular. Also young Dog-fish (>Scyltium , p. 68). 
Fishes. Smaris (p. 86), a pretty little silver fish with 
a black finger-mark on each side. Generally on 
the sand the Gurnard (Trigla , p. 77), walking on 
six fingers (fin-spines), and the Red Mullet ( Mullus , 
p. 78), with two white feelers in front of its chin. 
Fishes. Small kinds of Serranus , e. g. Lettered-perch 
(p. 84), with cross-bands of brown and silver. 
Octopus (p. 49), with toad-like bodies and twisted, 
suckered arms; under these is the mouth. Ask the 
attendant to feed them. 
Fishes. Grey Mullet (. Mugil , p. 85), slender and sil¬ 
very, the underlip shaped like a W. 
Storage tanks, containing various Fishes and Crusta¬ 
ceans, generally also a Turtle (Thalassochelys , p. 90). 
In the warmer months # File-fish (Batistes, p. 89), 
oval, smudged with black, mouth always apparently 
open, teeth projecting. 
Cuttlefish (Sepia, p. 50). Four to ten inches long and 
half as broad, in shape like a small, big-headed, 
heavily made fish. They may be floating, but gene¬ 
rally lie in corners on the sand, which they resemble
