Clupea Fimbriata, new species, Bowd., fig. 44. 



I have given it this specific name, because every scale is fringed, which 

 makes the fish have a very pecuUar appearance. The dorsal fin has 16 

 rays, the ventral 19, and the pectoral 5 ; the back is of a brilliant azure, 

 the sides are of a pale yellow, and the belly is silvery ; the caudal and 

 anal fins are of a deep yellow. Found at Porta Praya.

This fish had been long out of the water when we saw it, so that we 

 could only ascertain the existence of the dentated spine of the first

 there were but few visible scales, and the whole body was of a dull 

 grayish-brown, approaching to black upon the back. It had six 

 barbillons, and was found in the Gambia.

 the anal 14, and the caudal 12 ; the preoperculum is radiated, and the 

 operculum deeply scalloped ; the whole fish is of a brilliant red. Found 

 at Porta Praya and in the Gambia. 



Julis Squami-marginatus, new species, Bowd., fig. 53.
