The filiform appendages situated below the pectoral fins, to the number of 

 three on each side, are peculiar to all the species of the genus Trigla as 

 limited by Cuvier ; they would appear to be organs of delicate tact, for 

 they are supplied by large nerves which arise from peculiar tubercles 

 arranged in a double series at the commencement of the spinal marrow.
