You are right. The first book I looked at had the genders the wrong way round. Looking at a more academic [the pictures are in b&w 8-)] volume, the male are disc shaped and the female 9-rayed. This is the only British species of this genus, although there is an aquatic variant. mike ----------------------------------------- Email provided by http://www.ntlhome.com/
