CAT-FISH. 
a bladder, hanging from the navel-string, and 
all the rest of the body quite unincumbered. 
The specific chara6ler of the Chstodon, 
or Cat-Fish, is as follows : the body is oblong ; 
the head is small; the teeth are slender, and' 
bending; the fin covering the gills has five or 
six spines ; and the fins of the back and anus 
are scaly. 
The Greatest Cat-Fish is said to differ from 
this, in being of an ash-colour, in having larger 
and fewer spots, a larger and thicker snout, 
and nostrils at a considerable distance from the 
mouth.
