HIS fpecies is called fmooth, not that the 
fkin is really fo, but becaufe it wants the 
fpines on the back, which are the character of the 
fecond fpecies, the Picked Dog. 
The nofe extends far beyond the mouth, and the 
end blunt: the holes behind the eyes are {mall ; the 
back is lefs flat than that of others of this genus. 
The firft back fin is placed midway above the 
pectoral and ventral fins : the pectoral fins are fmall.

The color of the back and fides afh, and free
