The spinous dorsal is higher than in Lacépéde and Russell’s figure, and more resembles 
Riippell’s, supposing that the membrane connecting the filamentous tips were more fully de- 
veloped than it is shown to be in his figure. The central half of the fin is pure white.

from the neighbourhood of Canton by Captain Dawkins and Sir Edward Belcher, and one 
from the mouth of the Yan tze kiang by Sir Everard Home, besides some injured ones, all of 
this species. They agree in the height of the body, which is greatest some way behind the 
anus or nearly in the middle, being equal to one-fourteenth of the whole length ; the head*

the relative height of the head would be greater if the measurement were made from thence.
