170, EoNey, Efox oCeu^, Lin. ^16. — Green Garfilh, Cate/ij!,il. ■^o. 



T> With long flei^derjaws, armed with many finall teeth : dorfal fin 

 * placed very near to the tail : whole body covered with hard boney 

 fcales ; thofe on the belly placed obliquely : back green : belly pale 

 red : tail rounded -, of a dirty red, fpeckled with black. Grows to the 

 length of three feet. 



Law/on fpeaks of a white Garfifl3 with fcales knit together like ar- 



' mour. He adds, that the meat is very white, and looks liker fiefh 



than fifh ; that the Indians only efteem it : and that the gall is green, 



and a violent cathartic. I imagine Law/on calls it white in regard to 



the fiefh, and that he means the fame fifh as Catejby. 



2lxc'e.. Inhabits the rivers and frefti waters of Virginia. 



180. Carolina. T) With a flender body : long and flender nofe : the under mandible 

 the longer : dorfal and anal fins oppofite : fcales very thin and 

 diftinft ; not layed over each other, nor boney.

 I'aft, after the preceding fpecies, with a doubt whether it is not a 

 variety.
