And as for other fish common to the Atlantic and Mediterranean, I was unable to observe miralets, triggerfish, puffers, seahorses, jewelfish, trumpetfish, blennies, gray mullet, wrasse, smelt, flying fish, anchovies, sea bream, porgies, garfish, or any of the chief representatives of the order Pleuronecta, such as sole, flounder, plaice, dab, and brill, simply because of the dizzying speed with which the Nautilus hustled through these opulent waters.
Et si je ne pus observer ni miralets, ni balistes, ni tétrodons, ni hippocampes, ni jouans, ni centrisques, ni blennies, ni surmulets, ni labres, ni éperlans, ni exocets, ni anchois, ni pagels, ni bogues, ni orphes, ni tous ces principaux représentants de l'ordre des pleuronectes, les limandes, les flez, les plies, les soles, les carrelets, communs à l'Atlantique et à la Méditerranée, il faut en accuser la vertigineuse vitesse qui emportait le _Nautilus_ à travers ces eaux opulentes.
