JOHN DORIES Theie tivo photographi shoru the difference in the jjivi 'ivhen protruded and ivhen at reit MACKEREL, is common in British seas. Many members of the family have the hinder portion of the body on each side armed with large plates, well seen in the accompanying photographs; others have the median fins produced into long filamentous processes. All are eatable, and some highly esteemed as food. One of the most remarkable is the PiLOT-FISH of tropical and temperate seas, occurring occasionally off the British coasts. It derives its name from its habit of accompanying ships and large sharks. From this habit of accompanying ships it was regarded by the ancients as a sacred fish, since they considered it pointed out the way to embarrassed sailors, and announced the vicinit)' of land by suddenly disappearing. The close companionship between the pilot-fish and the shark has excited much comment, many observers believing that the former was of great use to the latter in guiding it to its food. How this is done is graphically described by Dr. Meyer, who writes: " The pilot swims constantly in front of the shark; we ourselves have seen three instances in which the shark was led by the pilot. When the shark neared the ship, the pilot swam close to the snout or near one of the pectoral fins of the animal. Sometimes he darted rapidl}- forwards or sidewards, as if looking for something, and constantly went back ag?in to the shark. When we threw overboard a piece of bacon fastened on a great hook, the shark was about twent}' paces from the ship; with the quickness of lightning the pilot ca.me up, smelt at the dainty, and instantly swam back again to the shark, swimming many times round his snout and splashing, as if to give him e.xact information as to the bacon.
