APPENDIX. 
In the first volume of this work we have given an account, 
with a figure, Plate XV, of a species of Shark, which we have 
called the Broad-headed Gazer, and which is otherwise not 
known to naturalists. But the resemblance was less satisfactory 
than could have been wished, and therefore another likeness is 
now provided, from the same example; for which we are 
indebted to the kindness of John Gatcombe, Esq., of Plymouth, 
for whom it was drawn by a friend. The dimensions of this 
fish were — the length from the snout to the beginning of the 
tail twelve feet six inches; length of the longest part of the 
tail three feet six inches, of the shortest lobe two feet; widest 
extent of the tail four feet five inches. From the snout to the 
beginning of the first dorsal fin five feet seven inches, length 
of this fin one foot nine inches, its height nineteen inches; 
distance between the two dorsal fins two feet seven inches; 
length of the pectoral fin two feet five inches. The elevation 
of the upper jaw is remarkable, as also the small size of the 
nostrils and eye. 
LONG-FINNED GREY OR GOLDEN 
MULLET. 
In our third volume, page 19, there is a short reference to 
this fish, which from information that has reached us we believe 
to be less rare than has been supposed. We have now the 
satisfaction of adding a figure of it, obtained from an example 
taken in the Mount’s Bay.
