Footnote 21:

With the exception of a small rough oblong spot, near the posterior extremity of the left palatine.

Footnote 22:

The third spine is broken, and may have been as long as the fourth.

Footnote 23:

There are actually nine, but one appears to have been lost.

Footnote 24:

Στεγαστης, tector.

Footnote 25:

G. chrysurus, Cuv. et Val.

Footnote 26:

This part is exactly as described by Cuvier and Valenciennes in the Lichia Amia, to which genus the present one is so nearly allied.

Footnote 27:

Lichia Amia is represented as having nine; and this forms another mark of affinity between the two genera.

Footnote 28:

There are scales on the cheeks in Lichia, according to Cuvier and Valenciennes, but I see no appearance of them in this genus.

Footnote 29:

In the C. trachurus, the bend begins in a line with the commencement of the second dorsal, and from its more gradual obliquity, extends over a space equal to that occupied by nine fin-rays.

Footnote 30:

According to Mr. Lowe, however, the B. palmicornis is common at Madeira, (see Proc. of Zool. Soc. 1829, p. 83), and a specimen received from him, undoubtedly belonging to that species, is in the Museum of the Cambridge Philosophical Society.
