Certain Brazilian fly-catching birds have a brilliantly colored crest which can be displayed in the shape of a flower-cup. The insects attracted by the false flower furnish the bird with food. In the tribe of fishes called the "anglers" or " fishing frogs,'' the front rays of the dorsal fin are prolonged in the shape of long slender filaments, the foremost and longest of which has a flat- tened and divided extremity. The angler conceals itself in the mud or in the cavities of a coral reef, and waves the filament back and forth. Small fish are attracted.
