ELEPHANT-NOSED KIPPER
Large quantities of a strange elephant snout fish, the mormyrus, have been discovered in the deepest parts of Lake Victoria in Africa. Fishing had never before been carried out in these deep waters, and one of the advantages of fishing there is that the fishermen’s nets are not damaged by crocodiles nor are the fishermen themselves endangered by them. The elephantsnout fish is oily, like a herring, and, like the herring, can be suitably kippered.
