Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College, Vol. 40: No; 1
Recently a Japanese zoologist, T. Nishikawa found a case where the dorsal fin extended along the head as far as the end of the snout in close contact with, but not fused to, the skin. There were no fin rays located in the eye region. The right eye passed through a slit between the fin and the head in one day, passing thus from one side completely to the other. Unfortunately the fish died, so that it is not known whether the fin would have fused later to the dorsal part of the head or not.
