Class IV. SHORT TETRODON. ifi 



fins are higher, and the aperture to the gills not 

 semilunar, but oval. The situation of the fins 

 are the same in both. 



This species was taken off Penzance, and is 

 engraved in Doctor Borlases Natural History 

 of Cornwall, from one of Mr. Jagos drawings. 

 Both kinds are taken on the western coasts of 

 this kingdom, and not unfrequently in the Frith 

 of Forth, but in much greater numbers in the 

 warmer parts of Europe. 



Mr. Brunnich informs us, that between An- 

 tibes and Genoa, he saw one of this species lie 

 asleep on the surface of the water : a sailor 

 jumped overboard and caught it.
