Cuvier doubts their being able to swim when in this position; but they clearly |24| can not only swim forward, but also move round. this they do effect, not like other fish by the action of their tails, but by collapsing the caudal fins, they move only by their pectorals. When placed in fresh water seemed singularly little inconvenienced. VespertilioNo 134 Copied Caught March 10th by flying into a room: it is

I have called this animal Virgularia; but it [illeg.] seems to form a new genus: it is most allied to Virg: juncea, but widely different in form of axis in spines. According [to] Cuvier, the occurrence of spines being the leading character, it would be a Pennatula, from which genus it differs still more widely in habits general appearance. |112| 1 The ova were those of the chaetognath arrow-worm Sagitta, discussed on pp. 68-71. 2 In Journal of Researches 1 pp. 117-18, CD has decided that this

The habitat is remarkable, it was found but little below high water mark, about 15 inches at most, in a stream of fresh water. In a note attached to (No 323 in spirits) I mention a

Wine. 9 Biphora is a name used by Cuvier in 1804, later replaced by Salpa, for thaliacian tunicates that include the chainlike salps. For later discussions of this animal see pp. 59-63. 10 Specimen No. 10 is identified in the list of Specimens not in Spirits as Creseis agrice rotundo, another sea butterfly. The modern name of the species is C. acicula. [CD P. 3 continues] [page] 7 ST JAGO 1832 JANUAR

There was a copy in the Beagle's library, probably supplied by FitzRoy. The condition of the one now preserved among the books from Down House is spotless, so that the original must later have been replaced by CD. The spelling 'Chesnut' is not one of CD's idiosyncrasies, but is the form in use at the beginning of the 19th century, copied from Syme. 2 See Cuvier Vol
