In my figui'e 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 9^ inches in length, the adult stage is being approached, the spines being 

 lower than the rays.

* Oorrecth speaking, this variety should perhaps he Labriis comber, of Pennant: still, as it is 

 doubtful whether it is Hay's comber, 1 have adnered to the usually received name.
