HOUGH HOUND.

large and lobed; moutb nine tenths of an inch from the snout. 
Pectoral fins low and wide; teeth numerous, sharp; skin rough, 
with short hut sharp points; colour reddish brown, lighter on 
the belly; covered with numerous small dark brown spots, the 
smallest on the back, larger on the sides and fins. 
I have seen an example that was paler than usual, with faint 
spots, but over the whole surface were scattered irregular very 
ac patches, as if mottled with pitch; and each patch having 
a border roMd it of a lighter colour than the ground. But I 
not iscover any other distinction beyond this of colour, 
trom the common examples of the Bough Hound.
