Abstract
In no department of natural history have descriptions been more unsatisfactory than such as relate to certain productions of the ocean, which, either from the immeasurable depths that conceal them, or the absence of those circumstances best adapted to their multiplication, very rarely present themselves to our notice, and from this rarity often excite impressions on our minds, ascribing to them properties foreign to their real natures, and at variance with that harmony which, even in the deepest recesses of the ocean, pervades the works of Omnipotence.
