Abstract
AN interesting fact in connexion with the late disastrous earthquake which did such damage along the Western Riviera of Liguria on the morning of February 23 last, and with which I only lately became acquainted through my friend Dr. Bellotti, of Milan, who was at Nice at the time, is that during the days immediately following the catastrophe quite a large number of deep-sea fish were taken dead or half dead in shallow water or found stranded on the beach. This happened more especially in the immediate neighbourhood of Nice, whose sea, as that of Messina, has long been well-known for its richness in deep-sea fish.
