IN NATURE, vol. xiv. p. 313, Prof. E. Perceval Wright gives some account of the Basking Shark, with especial reference to the curious pectinated appendages which lie along the branchial arches of that huge fish. His paper is illustrated by a characteristic woodcut from a drawing by Prof. Steenstrup, who had recently described these appendages, and who finds that they were alluded to by Bishop Gunnerus, about 100 years ago. Prof. Wright also gives a very interesting original figure of one of the branchial arches with the appendages attached.
