[105] In a paper read before the Zoological Society on June 11th, 1861,
Dr. J. E. Gray describes as new to naturalists these and other habits
of the Pipe-fishes, which he had observed when watching specimens kept
in the tanks of the gardens in Regent Park. And he takes occasion to
lecture other “persons who have leisure and opportunity” for not giving
more particulars of the manners of fishes. But the habits in question
had been described in minute detail by myself nine years before (see
my _Devonshire Coast_, p. 180, _et seq._), together with many other
interesting points in the economy of these curious fishes. The still
earlier observations of Mr. Couch are also thus cavalierly ignored.
