Abstract
A propos of my note on strange incubation in fishes, I send you, quantum valeat, an extract from Mrs. Yelverton's olla podrida of tavels, “Teresina Peregrina,” vol. ii. pp. 15, 16: “His Highness (the Tumangong of Johore) had a splendid collection of orchids, which it seemed, to gratify him to point out to me. I recognised many of them as my old friends, the acanthus-shaped denizens of the Cambogian forests, from whose urn-like leaves my people used to bring me down the little fish. This bouleversement of natural history may sound like a traveller's tale, but the explanation is simple.
