Another genus of sucking fish larger and more powerful than either the Remora or Eckeneis is Remiligia, which apparently has the habit of attaching itself regularly to the bodies of Cetacea, and for that reason has come infrequently to the attention of ichthyologists.'*

If we come now to form an opinion as to the credibility of the orig- inal narrative of the great discoverer, weighing it in the light of modern information, there would appear to be no sufficient reason for rejecting it as improbable or the creation of a £orid imagination.
