Text Appearing Before Image:
I should think they might call it an angel-fishas well as a dragon-fish, or is it so very ugly ?said May. Not near so ugly as a fish that really bears thatname, said Grace. 450
Text Appearing After Image:
.y. 5AR3£Nr- The Pegasus Deagon (Pegams-draco). THE FISHING PARTY. Then there is really an angel-fish ? exclaimedMay, delightedly. Yes, one of the ugliest of fishes, and it cannotfly at all. Perhaps it gets its name from its gentle disposi-tion, suggested May. No; it is very fierce, voracious and dangerous.Nobody likes to approach it. It is longer than aman and weighs a hundred pounds. O dear! Then what do they call it an angel-fishfor ? asked May. Just a satire on its extreme ugliness I suppose;or it may be called that from its clumsy, awkward-shaped pectoral fins. It has another name whichmay be a little more appropriate, and that is monk-fish, from the supposed hooded resemblance to amonks head. It is a very singular-looking fishindeed. It belongs to the Sycralidce family, thesame as does the shark and sword-fish. I was reading in the morning paper to-day thatsharks were unusually thick this season along theAtlantic coast. Some little boys were bathing,when some fishermen came up
