看到一个摘录从自然参考的巢远洋鱼，请允许我告诉你的发现，我认为是一个类似的巢在拉特。北纬25度，久了西经65°，去年一月在布宜诺斯艾利斯和纽约之间的航行中。我用一个桶箍和一个饼干袋临时做了一张拖网，把漂浮在海面上的稻草色的海藻捞上来检查，这些海藻在北纬20°到32°之间的海面上长满了长线和斑块。以后再说。有一天，网里出现了一大堆杂草，这些杂草是由结实的、白色的、丝一样的纤维织成的，围成了一个大约十英寸的圆球。这个球的表面覆盖着一个由这些纤维组成的网络，上面附着着大量的玻璃状的鸡蛋，大约有子弹那么大。鸡蛋是透明的，它们的外壳非常坚韧。球里唯一活着的居民是一两只小虾和一只小螃蟹，他带着自己独特的卵囊。
SEEING an extract from NATURE with reference to the nest of the pelagic fish, allow me to inform you of the discovery of what I presume to be a similar nest in lat. 25° N., long. 65° W., whilst on a voyage between Buenos Ayres and New York last January. I had improvised a drag-net out of a barrel hoop and a biscuit bag, to fish up for examination the straw-coloured floating gulf-weed, which covered the sea in long lines and patches between 20° and 32°N. lat.; and one day there came up in the net amass of weed compactly woven by strong, white, silky fibres into a round ball of about ten inches in circumference. The surface of this ball was covered with a network of these fibres, to which large numbers of glassy eggs, about the size of partridge shot, were attached. The eggs were transparent, and their cases very tough. The only living inhabitants of the ball were one or two small shrimps and a small crab, who was carrying his own particular egg-sac.
