Just in front of the tail fin we find the last quartet of these organs. This gives us fifty-three in all, and as they are paired, we find one hundi-ed and six of these comparatively large spots on the body of this small fish.
Professor Leydig entertains the belief that the spots are not alone luminous, but may be divided into three groups : (1) eye- like organs, (2) motlier-of-pearl-like organs, and {?>) luminous orsrans. In the fish ChauUodm there arc thousands of these spots; enough, if they ...all give light, to mark the creature affaiust the water in lines of fire, while in the Stomias, with its snake-like body and frightful head, we can imagine rowt^ of lamps, serving as warning-lights, if indeed its hideous appear- ance w^as not enough to re})el all curious fislies.
An interesting exam])le of the large-eyed light-givers, is the Ipuops, a new fisli fi)und by the " Challenger, " its great orbs Finny Light-Bearers. J J being described as blazing with ])liosphorescencc in the night. One of the most familiar light-givers, however, is the moon- fish, or sun-fish, of our coast.
