is of a color which, if not radiant, muft at leaft be 
confidered as highly elegant; viz. a moft delicate 
rofe-color, which in feme parts is flightly tinged 
with yellowillt, and in others with filvery white. 
The lower furface of the fiflr is flill paler, or very 
nearly white, and the fins and tail arc of a pale yellow 
brown. It is deftitute of fcales, though marked by 
very minute fcale-like points or reticulations. It is 
alfo nearly void of all afperity, either on the fide- 
line, or at the origin of the back-fin, &c. It 
feems moft allied to ,the Plcuronedles Flefus, of 
which it might perhajrs on a curfory view be fup- 
pofed a variety. There is, however, great reafon 
to believe it a totally new and hitherto undeferibed 
fpecies. It was taken in the Thames about three 
years ago, and is now in the Leverian Mufeum.
