. Brain and body of fish; a study of brain pattern in relation to hunting and feeding in fish. Fishes -- Anatomy; Nervous system -- Fishes; Brain. Aphanopus Lepidopus Promethichthys Nesiarchus carbo. caudatus. prometheus. nasutus. PEB—Primitive end-brain. OL—Optic lobe. CLM—Cerebellum. ALL—Acoustico-lateral lobe. SSL—Somatic-sensory lobe. The primitive end-brain is globular, of moderate size, and is prolonged anteriorly into smaller olfactory bulbs. Another deep sea fish which I was able to examine was the sea-bream, Brama rail, which also belongs to the Scombriformes, a stout fish with a deep body which descends to over 200 fathoms. On removing its brain it was at once evident that further confirmation of the view was present, that excessive prominence of the acoustic tubercle was associated with a deep water habitat. The brain of this fish is characterised by a larger optic lobe, and a larger cerebellum than in the scabbard fishes, while the acoustic tubercles though prominent are not so globular. Brama is a pelagic and predatory fish and is often to be seen in the Maderia fish market. The white-scabbard fish is of similar shape as the black, but is remarkable for its uniform silvery appearance ; it may grow to a length of six feet. According to Norman this is a surface fish, but my informant, ]Mr. Gunther Mohl, the curator of the Museum at Funchal, told me that it is sometimes caught at 100 fathoms, and.
