In my figure the young is delineated showing the spines and rays of nearly 

 the same height. In Steindachner's beautiful figure of this variety, a little 

 over 9i inches in length, the adult stage is being approached, the spiaes being 

 lower than the rays.

* Correctly speaking, this variety should perhaps be Labrus comber, of Pennant : still, as it is 

 doubtful whether it is Kaj's comtier, I have adnered to the usually receiyed name.
