Excerpt from The Phosphorescent Organs in the Toadfish Porichthys Notatus Girard
A question to which there are such Opposite answers by such eminent investigators cannot be regarded as answered at all. This paper is a contribution to the discussion, and I shall be glad if the account of my work and its results leads at all to the solution Of the problem. I must remark at the outset that much of my work may not be new; how much I cannot say, for though I have tried, I have not been able to have access to all the literature on this subject. Further more, no one should venture, from the study Of only a few forms, to draw conclusions regarding a great number, although the careful examination of a few forms will just ify opinions regarding the others, if only these opinions are held tentatively, subject to modification by further researches.
