yellow mixed with faint blue, pointing to the 

 belly, which is white ; the tail striped like the 

 sides. The body is nearly of an equal depth, 

 namely, about two inches. The length of a 

 large one is about sixteen inches; its weight 

 two pounds. 



This species is found in the sea off Scarbo- 

 rough, but most frequently in that off Bright- 

 helmstone, where it is the dread of the fishermen,

 and well tasted fish.
