Ferguson also has described an Angler which he supposed 
to be a separate species, and which has been received as 
such by Lacepede, but of which no other example has since 
been recognised. It was caught in Bristol Eoads in 1763, 
and was probably a variety of the common species. It was 
described as not having the body flattened above and below, 
nor compressed at the sides, but of a cylindrical form, and 
ending in a cone. Behind the upper lip were two hard elastic 
filaments, one before the other, long, but without a membrane 
at their extremity. It was in length four feet nine inches.
