C«c. pyl. (36, Ireland -) 40-42. Yert. '57-58 (-59, Ireland). Largest specimen observed 16 inches; female mature at a length of 7 inches. Head well proportioned in its shape, and small when compared with the body ; body less stout than in S. fario. The posterior point of junction of operculum and subcperculum is nearer to the lower anterior angle of the suboperculura than to the upper end of the gill-opening. Praeoperculum generally with an indistinct lower limb. Snout short, conical, not jauch produced in the male sex, in which a mandibular hook has never been observed. Maxillary much longer than the snout, but much narrower and more feeble than in S. fario ; in specimens 8 inches long it does not extend to below the hind margin of the orbit, and at no age does it reach much beyond it. Teeth moderately strong. The head of the vomer is triangular, broader than long, with a transverse series of teeth across its base; the Leeth of the body of the vomer form a single ^^eries, and only now and then two teeth stand opposite to each other: these teeth are persistent throughout life. Fins weU developed, not rounded; the pectoral is pointed, and its kagth is nearly always more than one-half of the distance of its base from that of the ventral. The caudal fin has always the lobes pointed, is emarginate, and appears truncate only when stretched to the utmost extent. In specimens. Please note that th
