Product Information

Excerpt from Zoologica: Original Abhandlungen Aus Dem Gesamtgebiete Der Zoologie In addition to the investigation of these several mail-cheeked fishes it has been found necessary to carefully examine certain special features in the cranial anatomy of several other fishes, these fishes being mostly obtained here, though certain of them were sent me from America, by one of my assis tants, Mr. Wm. F. Allen. The Scorpaenidae are said by Gill to be the most generalized of the mail-cheeked fishes, and the Scorpaenids to be the most generalized of that family. Because of this, I begin the descriptions with Scorpaena, selecting S. Scrofa because of its being larger than S. Porcus. This fish is described with considerable detail, for it is often the apparently unimportant features that are important in com parisons. Each cranial bone is described under its own special heading, and to make the descriptions complete under each of these headings, some repetition has been unavoidable. As the descriptions proceed, comparisons are at once made with fishes other than the mail-cheeked ones, special sections being devoted to comparative discussions alone. The other mail-checked fishes included in the investigation, are, when described, compared, as much as possible, with Scorpaena scrofa only. Scorpaena porous, the skull of which, though smaller than S. Scrofa otherwise closely resembles it, is referred to only where appreciable differences were ticed. The menclature employed differs somewhat from that heretofore employed by me, for it has seemed to me best to adopt, in large part, the current English names of the cranial bones. This will appear in the descriptions of Scorpaena, and needs special explanation here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
