(FroniOlt.) parental care are to be found in the development of mar- supial pouches or grooves for the reception of the eggs in the males of the Syngnathidae (Fig. 387) and the females of the Solenostomidae, and the use of the oral cavity for a similar purpose in the males, rarely in the females, of some Siluridae, and the males or females, according to the species, of the Cichlidae. The singular method by which the female Aspredo safeguards both her eggs and her progeny is referred to on p. 596.
