The Five-Lined Constellation fish is a cryptid fish seen by William Beebe during one of his bathysphere dives in the deep waters around Bermuda in the 1930s. Beebe dubbed this fish Bathysidus pentagrammus and described it as being disc-like in appearance and on each side of its body were five lines of bright yellow bioluminescent lights, each surrounding by smaller purple lights.
Beebe said of the fish, “in my memory, it will live throughout my life as one of the loveliest things I have ever seen.”
These are part of my taxidermy gaff-inspired series of paintings and both of these lovely cryptid fish are currently available HERE in my Etsy shop!

thinkin about those guys that went in a ball and made up a bunch of fish
The three-starred anglerfish was one of the many mysterious creatures that had been seen by William Beebe off the coast of Bermuda. The fish was seen on August 11th, 1934, at a depth of 2,470 feet. Beebe described the creature as being around 6 inches in length and resembling a typical anglerfish. However, this particular one had three bioluminescent lures that glowed a pale yellow. This illustration was drawn by Else Bostelmann to recreate what Beebe had seen.
In his 1934 book, Half Mile Down, Beebe described the three-starred anglerfish in detail:
"A tie rope had to be cut and in this brief interval of suspension, extended by my hurried order, a new anglerfish came out of all the ocean and hesitated long enough close to my window for me to make out its dominant characters. I am calling it the Three-starred Anglerfish, Bathyceratias trilynchnus. It was close in many respects to the well-known genera Ceratias and Cryptosparas, but the flattened angle of the mouth and the short, even teeth were quite different. It was six inches long, typically oval in outline, black, and with small eye. The fin rays were usual except that it had three tall tentacles or illicia, each tipped with a strong, pale yellow light organ. The light was clearly reflected on the upper side of the fish. In front of the dorsal fin were two pear-shaped organs exactly like those of the common Cryptosparas. The paired fins escaped me. No pioneer, peering at a Martian landscape, could ever have a greater thrill than did I at such an opportunity."

Feathursday Pheasants!
This week we bring you a few Pheasants from around the world as published in the 1936 publication Pheasants Their Lives and Homes by the eminent zoologist and explorer William Beebe, published in Garden City, N.Y. by Doubleday, Duran & Company under the auspices of the New York Zoological Society, where Beebe was director of the Department of Tropical Research.
In 1910, Beebe led a major, 17-month, worldwide expedition for the New York Zoological Society to document the world's pheasants. "The urgency of this journey sprang from the fact that the members of this most beautiful and remarkable group of birds are rapidly becoming extinct, so that the record of their habits and surroundings, which is important to understanding their structure and evolution, will soon be lost forever."
The resulting publication was the 4-volume A Monograph of the Pheasants, published in London by H. F. Witherby for the New York Zoological Society, 1918-1922. The abridged version, Pheasants Their Lives and Homes, first came out in 1926. This is the 1936 edition. The images shown here are by naturalist artists Louis Agassiz Fuertes, Henrik Grønvold, Henry Jones, Charles R. Knight, and George Edward Lodge.

The sun is defeated and color has gone forever, until a human at last penetrates and flashes a yellow electric ray into what has been jet black for two billion years.
