Not illustrated. 1804 Excerpt: ...which was copied from a drawing by the Revd. Mr. Jago, Minister of Loo in Cornwall, and who appears to have been a very observant and skilful ichthyologist; since many of his communications are preserved in the works of Ray and Petiver. A specimen observed in the year 1793, by the Revd. Dr. Goodenough, on the coast of Hastings, is described in the third volume of the Linnaean Transactions. Its length, from the tip of the snout to the extremity of the tail, was three feet ten inches: the colour of the body a deep blue on the back, and white or silvery beneath: the shape was round, except for about six inches from the tail, where it was depressed: at about an inch from the tail was a semicircular'or lunar fossule or impression, the points of which were towards the tail: where the body was depressed the sides were raised into a sharp angle or elevated line of about eight inches in length, running into the middle of the tail or a little beyond: the nose was prominent and sharp; and on either side, from the nose to the eyes were numerous perforations or minute pores: the tail was of a lunar form, the upper lobe nearly a third longer than the lower. From the number of teeth, which were two rows in each jaw, the fishermen concluded it to be two years old, and Dr. Goodenough was assured that they had been seen of the length of eight feet, with three rows of teeth.
