 However, in both these works, it is looked 

 on only as a variety, or different in sex. Mr. 

 Graham has the same opinion. It lives 

 on fish, frequenting the lakes near the sea

 the natives. Its eyes are small, the irides 

 red ; it weighs one pound, and measures 

 one foot in length, and one third more in 

 breadth.
