         Great account of  the legendary arnoldi..  Will try to find slides 
of 3 different filamentosus/arnoldi type fishes running around in the 
70's.  Robert I am trying to remember the line drawing that was i the 
Arnold and Ahli translation of a work that the AKA did in the early 
60's.  I have a copy somewhere, but maybe someone on the list has one handy 
and can recount the line drawing that it contained.  ........

                 If you or someone is familiar with the drawing, did that 
feature filamentosus or arnoldi ?
