9.11 CHAP. 11. (9.)—THE TURSIO.

There is a fish called the tursio, [Note] which bears a strong resemblance to the dolphin; it differs from it, however, in a certain air of sadness, and is wanting in its peculiar vivacity. This animal most resembles the dog-fish, [Note] however, in the shape and dangerous powers of the muzzle.
