The number of the fin-rays varies a little : —

All the specimens, the longest of which is 21 lines in length, have 

 lost the scales ; there were 25 in a longitudinal series, if the series 

 correspond to the dixasions of the muscles. 



Gohius pellucidus of Nardo and Kessler is probably identical with 

 L. albus ; the only difference which I can make out, by a comparison 

 of Kessler's description with the Scotch specimens, is in the relative 

 size of the eye, which is rather larger in Q. pellucidus. Kessler's 

 specimens were 17 lines long.

The diameter of the eye is one-fourth of the length of the head 

 (ia L. albus one-fifth), equal to (in L. albus less than) the extent of 

 the snout, and more than the width of the interorbital space.

The length of the head is one-fourth of the total. Jaws equal 

 anteriorly. The maxillary does not extend to below the centre of 

 the eye. Ventrals short. Dusky-brown, fins wdth blackish streaks.

Kessler has found that the number of the fin-rays is subject to 

 some variation : —

Nordmann and Eichwald appear to have described the gill-open- 

 ings of too small a width ; according to Kessler, they are narrower 

 than in Gobius.
