Cat L 14 loea not belong to the original type, as it has yellow 

 lis. 

 There is a Serranw hnmneus, which is the Epmephelus 

 Iruniu u§ of Bloch, tab. 32S; but from its rounded caudal and 

 its anal noted as HL 8, it belongs to the genus where Bloch 

 placed it. 



Trisotropil n^uaji. 



Trisotropis aguqji, Poky, Rapert. ii. 229 ; Synopsis, 2S4-. 



It is well distinguished from the preceding species by the color 

 of the vertical fins, in having the caudal, the anal, and soft 

 dorsal half yellow, which covers the base, and half dark brown 

 which covers the broad border. I sent a very large stuffed 

 specimen to the Cambridge Museum, about 11 1M" 11 " - long, 

 which is figured in my MS. portfolio, as well as one other of 

 1 l-j(j ,nm - The popular name is aguaji.

1 oalj once met with a large specimen, 425"""- long; and 

 WOtlld have liked to find several, in order to confirm more com- 

 pletely the specific: characters shown in my drawing and in my 

 Memorias ; namely, the whole body coveretl with rounded spots 

 of a Light reddish brown, mi a darker violet-brown ground. It 

 had, however, no large flexuous quadrilateral spots. The tins 

 are of B more or less brownish green. The preoperelc is 

 rounded. 



I believed, though with some doubt, when I wrote in my 



.)/. loriaa, ii, L80, "that the S&rranut arara of Val., Poiss. ii., 



.ue aa the Bonaci arara of Parra," to which he 



joins it; but I have sinoeaeeD that it is the same Sah as the one 



ired by M. DeamaretS, Did. OUu8. x which is no other than 



lunuUUut of Blooh.
