About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1881-01-01 Excerpt: ... with large chubby lips, with long and firm incisor teeth, and a gormandising appetite, it works considerable havoc amongst the edible morsels which frequent its chosen haunts. Limpets, mussels, &c, are dexterously chiselled from the rocks, and devoured wholesale. Like most shore-hunting fish it is perpetually encompassed by innumerable enemies, avian or piscine; but it is very strong, considering H S its size; and frequently when chased in a pool, it will charge the invader's hand with a force equal to that of a blow from a stone.

The shanny spawns during the summer. The ova are deposited in a tiny sea-hall--a species of rock-hewn nest situated near low-water mark; and the fish guards and watches the progeny with indefatigable vigilance and assiduity. A lavish exuberance of finrays clothes the body of this fish. The dorsal fin has usually 31 rays; the pectorals 13; the ventrals 2 only, but of eminent service; the anal has 19, and the caudal about. 11 or 13.
