Capitolo 55

George Campbell, in him his to have a good time 'Trunk Letters from the "Challenging,"'
you mention a butterfly on the beach to Amboyna that precisely seemed a
bit of the beach, until spread his/her wings and it gaily fluttered away to
downwind. It soles and the other flat-fish resembles to likewise the sands or banks
on that they lies, and it specifically arranges him to the
particular colour of their special fund. This way the wagging imitates
the muddy bars to the mouths of rivers, where he loves fifty-fifty buries
him in the congenial mud;  the soles that rather it strikes cleans very hard
sand-banks, are simply sandy and spotted with grey;  the plaice that goes
in from preference for a bed of mixed pebbles, it has red and yellow stains
sprinkled on and down irregularly among the brown one, to look as much as
possible as agates and carnelians:  the brill that he/she embraces even more a raw
prominence, has gone till now as to acquire elevated clots or tubercles on his
superior surface that does him/it seems as a mere piece of the to cover a roof of batten-strewn
you cradle on that him the rests. In short, where the environment is more anymore
you conform the colouring it follows suit:  only in proportion as the
environment varies from place to put, the colourings they have to vary in order
to simulate him/it. There is a biological and deep joy in the term
'environment'; it almost emulates the consolatory and notorious ownerships of
that sweet word 'Mesopotamia.' 'Outskirtses', perhaps, equally
well expresses the meaning, but then, as the Mr. Justly Wordsworth observes,
'the difference to me!'

Between England and Western Indies, around the duration when one starts
recoveries from the first turn of sea-illness, we come on a certain
draws indolent of ocean, uninvaded of Brook of Gulf or arctic
current, but slowly stagnating in a kind of eddy without end of his really, and
known to sailors and books of the physical geography as the Sargasso Mare.
The sargasso or afloat sea alga from which he/she takes his/her poetic name
