Footnote 1:

Hist. des Poiss. tom. ix. p. 317. I refer to the quarto edition throughout.

Footnote 2:

In this and in all other cases, Mr. Darwin has used Werner’s Nomenclature of Colours, by Patrick Syme.

Footnote 3:

I have employed this term to designate the slender curved teeth, arranged in several rows, which Cuvier calls en cardes, or, when less numerous and rather more developed, en crochets. They much resemble the prickles found on some plants.

Footnote 4:

There are actually only three below in this specimen, but there is little doubt of four being the normal number, one appearing to have been lost.

Footnote 5:

The absence of the usual fan has suggested the name of Arripis, from α priv. et ριπις, flabellum.
