Well 100 ft deep, surrounded by wall. — Eel caught, & shown to Agassiz & apparently identical with common eel, with immense eyes, & upper jaw in consequence projecting beyond lower ark. C^d it have been effect of darkness. — Says in note common carp & Gold Fish of China, sometimes have sometimes immensely developed. (Fish from deep Mediterranean have large eyes — The Rat of Caves of N. America large eyes) It seems far more remarkable as Eels breed in sea. —
