Others again have a crescent-shaped or bifurcated 

 tail \ 



Anampses, Cuv. 



All the characters of a julis, with the exception of 

 two flat teeth in the jaws, which project from the 

 mouth and curve outwards. 



But one or two species are known. From the 

 Indian Ocean 2 . * 



Crenilabrus, Cuv. 



We separate these fishes from the lutjanus of Bloch, 

 in order to arrange them in their proper place. They 

 have all the characters, external and internal, of a 

 true labrus, and only differ in the denticulation of 

 the border of their preoperculum. 



which do not appear in the drawing of Commerson, engraved, Lacep. 

 III. pi. i. f. 3, are very visible in the dried specimen deposited in 

 the Museum ; that genus must, therefore, be included in Julis, 

 together with the Demi disque, III. pi. vi. f. 1, the Annele, ib. pi. 

 xxviii, and the Cercle, which at least are closely allied to it.

 is different, and may possibly be nothing more than altered Julis
