Mr. Couch, it appears, has not scon more than two or 

 three specimens ; but the Cornisli fishermen say they find 

 this species from ten to fifteen leagues from land, and in 

 fine weather swimming at the surface over a depth of fifty 

 fathoms or more. 



My specimens being both females, the sexual peculiarities 

 of this division of the Si/ngnathi will be explained when 

 describing the next species. 



The vignette below represents the head and tail of this 

 species on a larger scale.
