Rhomboidal Porgee. 
From the following this differs chiefly in the character of the 
skull and the deeply notched incisors. 
Dr. Abbott first recorded this from Beesley’s Point from an 
example at that time in the collection of the Academy of Natural 
Sciences of Philadelphia. At present I have been unable to locate 
the example. It has subsequently been found to be not uncommon 
at the same locality by Dr. Bean. A's it reaches but 6 inches in 
length it is too small to be of use as a food-fish.
