Dr. Gunther remarks, in ' Catalogue of Fishes,' vol. vii. p. 365, that in my drawing in the ' Proceedings' of this Society and in the ' Fishes of Malabar,' the pectoral fin of the latter fish is " erroneously represented," as the semiosseous spine is attached to the fin by the usual interradial membrane, and not detached. The drawing was a correct one of my single specimen, which was not in a good state of preservation, and which I placed in the British Museum. My reason for not delineating the membrane, which normally exists, was simply because it was absent; and I merely copied correctly from what I saw before me, without adding to or subtracting from it. 125.
