2 Timothy 1:15 This you know, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. The flounder is an ill-looking, dark-coloured, flat fish, which creeps close along the bottom, and frequents, for the most part, banks of mad, from which it is almost indistinguishable. Mr. Agassiz has experimented upon young flounders and their power of changing colour. Placing them upon blackish tiles, they quickly turned mud-colour; moved thence to the "sand" tiles, only a few minutes elapsed before their leaden skins had paled to dull, yellowish white; transferred to the mimic "sea-weeds," in less than five minutes a greenish hue overspread their skins, which would have served well in their native element to keep them unobserved against a mass of algae.
