The author proceeded with his anatomical description of the respiratory, circulatory, and pneumatic systems in this remarkable fish; referring to the differences that exist in the male, the female, the young, and the adult specimens. He also shortly noticed the alimentary and other viscera of Organic life.

Dr Handyside illustrated his paper by 24 additional drawings—including 7 microscopic views—of structure in this fish.
