Let the waters bring forth after their kind.  The species of the cetacean is one; another is that of small fish.  What infinite variety in the different kinds!  All have their own names, different food, different form, shape, and quality of flesh.  All present infinite variety, and are divided into innumerable classes.  Is there a tunny fisher who can enumerate to us the different varieties of that fish?  And yet they tell us that at the sight of great swarms of fish they can almost tell the number of the individual ones which compose it.  What man is there of all that have spent their long lives by coasts and shores, who can inform us with exactness of the history of all fish?
