Narrative of the surveying voyages of His Majesty's Ships Adventure and Beagle, Vol. 3 [of 3]

Note 5 — Chapter II

Reading edition

On a dark night the light could be seen at about two hundred paces distant. It is remarkable that in all the glowworms, shining elaters, and various marine animals, which I have observed (such as the crustacea, medusæ, nereidæ, a coralline of the genus Clytia, and Pyrosoma), the light has been of a well-marked green colour.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
