英文释义
形容词 adj.
-
Alternative spelling of ichthyophagous.
— Dr. Leyden entertained an opinion that the Battas of Sumatra were the Ichthyophagi of Herodotus; but I agree with Mr. Anderson in thinking this supposition fallacious, as the Battas do not inhabit the coasts, but are always found in the interior; rarely venturing down to the shore, and indulge, as we have seen, an appetite of a very different kind from any that could be designated simply ichthyphagous.
