HOW MANY KINDS OF FISH THERE ARE
Latine · Mayhoff 1906
Pilo carentium duo omnino animal pariunt, delphinus ac vipera.
Piscium species sunt LXXIIII, praeter crustis intecta, quae sunt XXX. de singulis alias dicemus; nune enim naturae tractantur insignium.
English · Bostock & Riley 1855–57
There are only two animals without hair that are viviparous, the dolphin and the viper.
There are seventy-four species of fishes, exclusive of those that are covered with crusts; the kinds of which are thirty in number. We shall, on another occasion, speak of each individually; but, for the present, we shall treat only of the nature of the more remarkable ones.
