Two pairs of fish, opposed to each other in a square 
tank. W.E., PI. VII, fig. 6. With respect to these 
fish, Walter Elliot makes the native remark “Fish 
“occur in many forms as in figs. 6 and 10, where 
“ they appear to be fixed on skewers.” Of Course 
these so-called “ skewers ” are the lateral fins of 
the animals. These fins are usually displayed 
stuck out at right angles, or inclined slightly 
backwards. And he adds “In fig. 24 the “fish 
is pierced with several transverse rods.” This is 
really very funny. The “fish” here represented is 
a porpoise seizing a small fish, and the “ transverse 
rods” are merely the teeth of the porpoise which 
has its mouth wide open to take in its prey !
