Other zoophytes swarming near the sponges consisted chiefly of a very elegant species of jellyfish; mollusks were represented by varieties of squid that, according to Professor Orbigny, are unique to the Red Sea; and reptiles by virgata turtles belonging to the genus Chelonia, which furnished our table with a dainty but wholesome dish.

在海绵类旁边繁殖着的其他植虫动物,主要是形状很美观的一种水母。软体类有各种各样的枪乌贼,据奥比尼说,这些枪乌贼是红海的特产。爬虫类有属于龟鳖属的条纹甲鱼,这种甲鱼可以供应我们餐桌上一盘又卫生又好吃砌食品。
As for fish, they were numerous and often remarkable. Here are the ones that the Nautilus's nets most frequently hauled on board: rays, including spotted rays that were oval in shape and brick red in color, their bodies strewn with erratic blue speckles and identifiable by their jagged double stings, silver-backed skates, common stingrays with stippled tails, butterfly rays that looked like huge two-meter cloaks flapping at middepth, toothless guitarfish that were a type of cartilaginous fish closer to the shark, trunkfish known as dromedaries that were one and a half feet long and had humps ending in backward-curving stings, serpentine moray eels with silver tails and bluish backs plus brown pectorals trimmed in gray piping, a species of butterfish called the fiatola decked out in thin gold stripes and the three colors of the French flag, Montague blennies four decimeters long, superb jacks handsomely embellished by seven black crosswise streaks with blue and yellow fins plus gold and silver scales, snooks, standard mullet with yellow heads, parrotfish, wrasse, triggerfish, gobies, etc., plus a thousand other fish common to the oceans we had already crossed.
至于鱼类;这里有很多,并且很值得注意。下面是诺络留斯号的鱼网时常拉到船上来的鱼:鳃鱼类,里面有椭圆形、砖石色,身上有不等的蓝黑斑点的稣鱼,从它们身上带有双重的齿形刺就可以认出来。背色银白的白鳍鱼,尾带小点的赤醇鱼,以及锦带谭鱼,像长两米的宽大套子,在水中间滚来滚去。没齿稣,完全没有牙齿,是跟鲛鱼相近的软骨鱼。驼峰牡蛎,峰顶是弯的尖刺,身长一英尺半。蛇鱼类,像尾色银白、背上淡蓝、褐色胸部带灰色边线的海鳗一样。有光鱼,属鳍科的一种,身上有窄条的金色纹,带法国国旗的红蓝白三色。长四分米的楔形硬鳍鱼;美丽的加郎鱼,身上有漆黑的六条横带,蓝色和黄色的鳍)金色和银色的鳞。还有团足鱼,黄头耳形豚鱼,硬鳍斯加鱼,海婆鱼,箭鱼,虾虎鱼以及我们已经走过的海洋都有的其他千百种鱼类。
