Abstract
SEEING Mr. W. S. Kent's letter on this subject in NATURE of the 8th inst., a similar instance was recalled to my memory. About three weeks ago I observed in a fishmonger's shop a plaice, nearly one third of the under side of whose body (at the tail) had the usual colour and orange spots of the upper. In this specimen the spots were more numerous and brilliant than usual. The line of demarcation was irregular, but abrupt. The circumstance struck me because I have seen great numbers of Pleuronectidæ, but never one marked thus. The fishmonger told me that he had never seen a like specimen.
