In my figure the young is delineated showing the spines and rays of nearly 

 the same height. In Steindachner's beautiful figure of this variety, a little 

 over '9i inches in length, the adult stage is being approached, the spines being 

 lower than the rays.

* Correctly speaking, this variety should perhaps be Labrus comber, of Pennant: still, as it is 

 doubtful whether it is Kay's cornier, 1 have acluered to the usually received name.
