says of the larva "the eyes grow at first at a slower rate 
than the fish as a whole, as is the rule in fishes generally, 
but later on grow faster than the rest of the fish, so that 
they are proportionately much larger in the adult than in the 
young. * * * this is due to the fact that the adults live 
at greater depths than the young.
