Single fcales from the fame quarry, are alfo to 
be feel in the noble colleftion of Mils, given by 
Mr Brauder, F. R. S. to the Brittfh Muleum. 
Though this fi(h, therefore, is a ftranger to 
our feas, yet its exuviae are by no means fo 
our cliffs and quarries. 
I am, 
Dear SIR, 
Your moft faithful 
humble fervant, 
Daines Barrington. 
S Mr Hunter, F. R. S. having feen the foffit 
at Crane-Court, happened to dffift a beaver s 
tail very foon afterwards, which he (hewed 
me as bearing a ftrong refemblance to th 
fcaly divifions in this fpecimen; I cannot 
however, but Rill think that the fw ° ^ 
. fcales in the Acus maxma fquamofa of V i 
loughby is ftill nearer to it, than of thole in 
beaver’s tail.
