The original specimens of this species were forwarded 

 to Dr. Leach from Falmouth (Cornwall), by Mr. 

 J. Cranch. They have afforded the materials for our 

 figure and description, and we have dredged a specimen, 

 near the Knapbuoy, outside the Plymouth Breakwater, 

 in about six fathoms of water. We have also received it 

 from Mr. D. Robertson, of Glasgow, taken at Cumbrae. 



The accompanying vignette of Dutch fishing boats is 

 from a painting in the possession of J. Thackeray, Esq., 

 of Amo Vale, Nottinghamshire.
