LABRID.E. 



This species possesses teeth on the pharyngeal bones, as 

 figured in Pennant's plate of the Ballan Wrasse. The vent 

 is in a line under the eighteenth spinous ray of the dorsal 

 fin. 



Bloch's figure was probably taken from a preserved spe- 

 cimen, the colours of which had faded. 



This fish occurs in the Forth, at the Orkneys, and on the 

 coasts of Denmark and Norway. 



The vignette represents the bones of the head in the genus 

 Labrus.
