Text Appearing Before Image:
tes; Mola, 492 aa. Body oblong, about twice as long as deep; skin smooth, tessel-lated, with smooth hexagonal plates; Raniania, 494 The genus Mola contains a single species, Mola mola, one of themost remarkable among fishes, known as sunfish, headfish, mola, andpez luna, and found in most warm seas. It ranges as far north asEngland, Cape Cod and San Francisco. It is one of the largest ofall fishes reaching a weight of nearly a ton. The largest exampleon record was taken at Redondo Beach, California, in June, 1893,and was mounted by Mr. T. Shooter of Los Angeles. It was 8feet 2 inches long and weighed 1800 pounds. The sunfish are not rare on our Atlantic Coast where they maybe seen on almost any calm summer day. They float lazily withone of the bright sides just at the surface, the waves rippling andbreaking over them, and the heavy pectoral fin moving slowly toand fro through the air; thus lying they are very conspicuousobjects and may be seen long distances. They spend whole days 492
