Doubtful, or Compressed Sparus
SPARUS? COMPRESSUS
Sparus? Argenteus, compressus.
Sparus? Of a silvery colour, the body much compressed.
The specimen figured was nearly six inches in length; the colour a silvery white; scales of a moderate size, and the body much compressed. It seemed to possess the characters of a Sparus, though they could scarce be determined with sufficient certainty, from the bad condition of the specimen.
