Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Fishes The scope of the present work is to give in a concise form an account of the principal facts relating to the structure, classification, and life-history of Fishes. It is intended to meet the requirements of those who are desirous of studying the elements of Ichthyology; to serve as a book of reference to zoologists generally; and, finally, to supply those who, like travellers, have frequent opportunities of observing fishes, with a ready means of obtaining information. The article on "Ichthyology," prepared by the late Sir J. Richardson for the eighth edition of the "Encyclopaedia Britannica," is the only publication which has hitherto partly satisfied such requirements; and when I undertook, some years ago, to revise, or rather rewrite that article for the new edition of that work, it occurred to me that I might at the same time prepare a Handbook of Ichthyology, whilst reserving for the article an abstract so condensed as to be adapted for the wants of the general reader. From the general plan of the work I have only departed in those chapters which deal with the Geographical Distribution of Fishes.

In general all traits of the fish are discussed, those which the fish shares with other animals most briefly, those which relate to the evolution of the group and the divergence of' its various classes and orders most fully. The extinct forms are restored to their place in the series and discussed along with those still extant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Fishes These two movements may be made antagonistic by poor teaching. The book knowledge, containing as it does the precious lesson of human experience, may be so taught as to bring with it only dead rules of conduct, only dead, scraps of information, and no stimulant to original thinking. Its contents may be memorized without being understood. On the other hand, the self-activity of the child may be stimulated at the expense of his social well-being - his Originality may be cultivated at the expense of his rationality. If he is taught persistently to have his own way, to trust only his own senses. To cling to his own Opinions heedless of the experience of his fellows, he is pre paring for an unsuccessful, misanthropic career, and is likely enough to end his life in a madhouse. It is admitted that a too exclusive study of the knowledge found in books, the knowledge which is aggregated from the experience and thought of other people, may result in loading the mind of the pupil with material which he can not use to advantage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Fish Life The Story of Fish Life began ages and ages ago. Of this we are assured, not by any written record, but through the labours of those who spend their lives in exploring the dried basins of ancient lakes and seas, searching for the dead which may in cidentally have been preserved therein. The accumulated results of these explorations have provided us with a rich material for study in the shape of the hard parts, at least, of fishes of many kinds, the like of which, in many cases, we shall never see again. But some of these may be traced through a long series of geological forma tions, up to their living descendants, and serve to fill gaps otherwise incomprehensible. They enable us to weave out of the Whole of the collected evidence a story, as plainly as though we had transcribed it from the more familiar print.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fishes and Their Ways of LifeMany keen fishermen have a particular devotion to that form of the art which is practised from a boat, and among their number I certainly include myself. I have Often practised their art in the past, and I practise it still. At any fit and proper time I am prepared to accompany a friend to river, lake, or sea, especially the sea. And so I find delights unknown to the Shore fisherman. I am brought closer to creatures which must be watched for if they are to be caught, and I have a greater Share in their existence. Fishing is no longer a sedate and tranquil form of recreation, no longer a mere stroll along a river bank, or an excuse for a nap; it becomes something more in the nature of hunting, of the chase. It has attractions and dangers all its own.But I do not always confine myself to that common type of fishing which is concerned with catching fish and nothing more. I am after something more than this, and I use special gear. As a naturalist I fish because I seek to garner all the living creatures that dwell in the waters so that I may know them all and learn all about them. The world of waters does not consist only of the fish we use for food. Together with these live other creatures having a place and usefulness of their own. And they are all worth knowing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Catechism of Ichthyology: Being a Familiar Introduction to the Natural History of Fishes, Scientifically Arranged Q. By what means are the bodies of fish secured from the macerating influence of the water? A. Besides a strong scaly covering with which many species are furnished, they are protected from the influence of the waters by a glutinous matter, which is an effectual preservative against the ill effects which might otherwise arise from the element in which they dwell. Q. Do fish possess the external senses in perfection? A. It is impossible to answer this question with certainty; but it is probable that their scaly covering renders their sense of touching very imperfect; that from their hard bony palate, they can have but little delicacy of taste; the density of the fluid in which they live must render their sense of smelling not very acute; and it is very doubtful whether they hear at all. Q. Is not their sight very quick? A. Their sight is supposed to be quick, but, from the structure of the eye, there is reason to believe that their powers of vision do not enable them to discern objects at a considerable distance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brain and Body of Fish: A Study of Brain Pattern in Relation to Hunting and Feeding in Fish IN this short introduction to the comparative study of the brain of fish we have confined our observations to bony fish. The reader will find no reference to the brain of the cartilaginous (elasmobranch) fish. Our old friend the dog-fish will not appear. This unpleasant animal may be the cause of the backward state of our interest in the neurology of fish. Fifty years ago Ray Lankester was making pioneer observations on the brain of the dog-fish, but there seem to have been few scientists who have followed his trail. It is probably true that if investigations had been made on the goldfish or the roach the interest in these attractive fish would have led to a. Wider knowledge of the brain structure of fish. This book is a. Study of the brain of our familiar fresh-water fish, and the common food fishes of the British Isles. Salmon and trout, having a, publication of their own, do not appear. All the figures I reproduce are from my own specimens and drawings With the exception of two text figures of the brains of the cod and mormyrus for permission to redraw these I have to thank the Curator of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. In the discussion on the Silence of the Sea, I have referred to passages in Sir William Bragg's Lectures on The World of Sound and to Dr. Beatty's Hearing in Man and Animals. I have also consulted Cunningham on this subject in the work Reptiles, Amphibians and Fishes edited by him. References to other authors are mentioned in the text. A large proportion of the observations described in this work have already appeared in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, but the text has been entirely re-written With a considerable amount of new material.
