The Canadian and I sat him up; we massaged his contracted arms, and when he regained his five senses, that eternal classifier mumbled in a broken voice:"Class of cartilaginous fish, order Chondropterygia with fixed gills, suborder Selacia, family Rajiiforma, genus electric ray.""Yes, my friend," I answered, "it was an electric ray that put you in this deplorable state.""Oh, master can trust me on this," Conseil shot back.

There several groups of sea cows were living in family units.

不幸的康塞爾是受到了一種最危險的電鰩的襲擊，這條魚叫傘形電鰩。這種古怪的動物，在諸如水這樣的導(dǎo)體中，在幾米遠就能電擊其他的魚，它發(fā)電的器官功能無比的強大，身體主要部位的帶電面積絕不小于27平方英尺。第二天，4月12 日整一天，“鸚鵡螺號”船只向荷蘭海岸靠近，接近馬羅尼河口。那里生活著好幾群以家庭為小組的海牛，
