who discovered it in a copy of Rays Sy- 

 nopsis Pise, which had belonged to Mr. Lewis 

 Morris; this gentleman was elder brother of 

 Mr. William Morris, who presented the speci- 

 men the subject of this paper to Mr. Pen- 

 nant. Mr. Lewis Morris has made a figure of 

 it, rather rude indeed, but characteristic, as his 

 description will also be found to be. His 

 words are, " This fish I found in the month of 

 " January 1745, in Penrhyn Dyji, just left 

 " by the tide, and alive. It was in length five . 

 " inches ; and about one tenth of an inch wide, 

 " as transparent almost as glass ; its thickness 

 " at the back and belly, about one sixth of its 

 " breadth; and all its bones appeared as in 

 " the cut, with small black spots from one end 

 " to the other."* Ed. 



* The above memorandum is preserved in the copy of the 

 British Zoology, in the invaluable library of the President of the 

 Royal Society in Soho Square. Ed.
