greateft thicknefs only three inches: 
though deftitute of feales, it had four 
ftripes (ftretching its whole length) 
rough with {mall protuberances, and co- 
wered with a fhining tivery film, refem- 
bling the natatora bladder of a herring. 
The face and infide of its mouth (which 
had no teeth) were black ; the_tongue 
was {mooth and fort, and the eye mea- 
fured in diameter x3 inch, the iris being 
of a filyer white. The head, from iis 
front +o the cover of the gills, inclufive, 
was exactly feven inches in length. The 
gills confitted of fix rays ; and ¢be ventral 
fims, which had each only a fingle ray, a 
foot in length, were red, and /ay wader 
thole of che dreaff, which confifted of 
twelve, and were white. ‘The anus lay 
five feet diftance from the head ;—there 
was, however, no anal fin,—T he dorfal 
fin, having upwards of 300 rays, reached 
the whole length of the animal, and was 
of a crimfon colour. ~ The /dv line de- 
f{cended with an ealy curve from the head 
towards the belly, to which it ran paral- 
lel at three inches’ diftance, till nearly 
touching the tail, when it again curved 
gently, and terminated with the dove.

in this county, have determined to oblige 
their tenants to breed and feed a certain 
number of cattle, commentfurate to the 
extent of their farms, and alfo to leflen

‘he Holdernefs Agriculture Society 
have refolved, ‘ that every exertion to 
improve the breed of horned cattle 
fhould be ufed by then fociety.”’,. (he 
increafing number of thefe focieties in 
the Britith Iflands is a flattering circum- 
fiance, and promifes to add confiderably 
to our bef{ national interefts !
