mization of the fin, along the posterior edges
of the furrow, & up to the median line of its sides - they then
turn backward, the long axes being horizontal
& round to the flukes. The markings on its
sides of the peduncle are larger & more
scattered than those nearer the head-
bare in the very top lines & peduncle has
its long axis turned slightly upwards-
from dorsal fin to flukes, the top edge
by the peduncle & about a part down an
either side has no markings - the markings
extend on top of back from head to dorsal
fin. As I have said, the throat down its
body to pectorals is dark blue-gray like head-
From pectorals to navel, the breast is a little
lighter shade of blue-gray, shading into the still
lighter gray from navel to flukes - a line
of white flecks or spots run from lower
navel, & pectorals on left side diagonally
down to median line of breast - an
area between pectorals are scattering
dark ash & dark colored blotches - a
small mass of these two colored markings
on side of throat (left side) just below
corner of mouth - thick lot of markings
from corner of mouth to crest of pectoral
& just below it - no other blotches on
throat or breast - No spots, nor
median line from navel to
flukes, but on sides of peduncle.
