Abstract
A FEW days ago my attention was drawn to the phosphorescence of some fish (haddock) just received from the coast. The light was most brilliant about the fins and inside of the fish, which had been gutted. A spectroscope of low dispersive power showed all the light to belong to the green part of the spectrum. Approximate measures gave 557.5 (mm.) and 488.4 as the extreme wavelengths, the part from 557.5 to 503.4 being somewhat brighter than the remainder, with a feebly indicated maximum at 527.6.
