Long lines and streaks of paler blue lay smoothly along the enamelled surface, the low, amethystine hills lay couched beyond them, and little clouds stretched themselves in lazy length above the beautiful expanse.
Upon that point we can form a very clear judgment, and one in which there is no possible room for any mistake. There are of course a great number of animals such as jellyfishes, and other animals without any hard parts, of which we cannot reasonably expect to find any traces whatever: there is nothing of them to preserve.
But the diminutive cousin in the grotto with the jellyfishes is a bird of quite another feather. Physically he is constructed on the same model as the other, but his mentality is utterly opposed. No grand rôles for him; his part is comedy. He finds life full of interest. He is satisfied with himself and with the world.
Brightly colored starfishes, beautiful sea-urchins, strange stationary ascidians, and flower-like sea-anemones, quaint sea-horses, and filmy, fragile jellyfishes and their multiform kin all seem novel and wonderful as one sees them in their native element.
