APPENDIX 



In the first volume of this work we have given an account, 

 with a figure, PLite XV, of a species of Shark, which we have 

 called the Broad-headed Gazer, and which is otherAvise not 

 known to naturalists. But the resemblance was less satisfactory 

 than could have been wished, and therefore another likeness is 

 now provided, from the same example; for which we are 

 indebted to the kindness of John Gatcombe, Esq., of Plymouth, 

 for whom it was drawn by a friend. The dimensions of this 

 fish were — the length from the snout to the beginning of the 

 tail twelve feet six inches; length of the longest part of the 

 tail three feet six inches, of the shortest lobe two feet; Avidest 

 extent of the tail four feet five inches. From the snout to the 

 beginning of the first dorsal fin five feet seven inches, length 

 of this fin one foot nine inches, its height nineteen inches; 

 distance between the two dorsal fins two feet seven inches; 

 length of the pectoral fin two feet five inches. The elevation 

 of the upper jaw is remarkable, as also the small size of the 

 nostrils and eye. 



LONG-FINNED GREY OR GOLDEN 

 MULLET. 



In our third volume, page 19, there is a short reference to 

 this fish, which from information that has reached us we believe 

 to be less rare than has been supposed. We have now the 

 satisfaction of adding a figure of it, obtained from an example 

 taken in the Mount's Bay.
