Page 365 - When it falls to the bottom of the vessel, it fixes its long pointed antennae firmly into the sand, and, with the assistance of the true feet, drags and pushes itself forward. This, however, may not be a natural mode of progression, but may be adopted in consequence of the artificial circumstances in which the animal is placed. Swimming is the natural mode of progression. It is amusing to see one of these animals resting, in an erect posture, on a branch of coralline, by means of its true thoracic...
Page 121 - Baltic will soou replace it. Such a change from their regular route is entirely at variance with the nature and habits of fish. From what has been said above, it will be seen that in order to count on continued good fisheries, the nature of the water should be kept unchanged as much as possible, and in fact it should in every way be made still more suitable for the various kinds of fish.
Page 824 - I have the honor to report that in accordance with your instructions I have made an examination of the " Grand Calumet River, Indiana, beginning onehalf mile east of Hammond, and thence eastward to Lake Michigan," the result of which is hereby respectfully submitted.
Page 429 - This species is at once recognized among our Tanaids by the absence of eyes. The enlarged chelate claws joined to the united head and first thoracic segment, and the six-jointed pleon serve to distinguish it as belonging to the present genus. Body slender, elongated, and rather loosely articulated; head narrow in front, not broader than the bases of the antennulse; eyes wanting; antennulse distinctly four-jointed (pi.

With the exception of those parts of the day when the herring is supposed to be asleep it is in constant motion, and its daily course, especially whilst near the coast, is entirely regular. It is well known now that the herrings generally keep quiet during the middle of the day and the middle of the night,...

Abdomen composed of six segments of which the five anterior ones are subequal and somewhat broader than the thorax ; last segment triangular, with rounded apex. Eyes large, compound, supported on peduncles. First antennae in female shorter than head, composed of three segments of which the first is longer than the second and third together, and the third is slightly longer than the second.

Page 832 - Ki ver, asíate as 1853, the miners obtained a large supply of food from this source. At the present time no salmon enter these streams. It would be safe to estimate that onehalf the streams in this State to which salmon formerly resorted for spawning, have, for this purpose, been destroyed by mining.
