The intornourals from the dorsal spines lead each to a neural spine. 

 Those from the dorsal rays are al.out three to (>aeh neural sphie. 



The three anal sphies are attached to a sinj-dc larj-e interha-mal, 

 doubtless composed of the first three interha^mals coossitied. It reaches 

 upward to the under surface of the lirst caudal vertebra. 



The intei-ha'mals of the anal rays exceed theha'mal spines in number 

 in tho same proi^rtion as the interneurals of the dorsal rays exceed 

 neural spines.
