"Upon page 259, we have a description of 

 the cunner, or marine perch as it is often 

 called; and it is surprising that after the 

 author observes, 'since the commencement 

 of this little volume, no one species has 

 given us more trouble and perplexity in 

 the classification than this;' to find it 

 arranged in a vinrong genus, with the sage 

 remark, 'to all appearance the perch or 

 cunner is the tautog in miniature; and if it 

 were black it would be supposed to be the 

 young of that fish!' And this too, while 

 the preoperculum of the former is strongly 

 denticulated throughout, and the edge of 

 that of the latter is per fectly smooth!" -
