304. REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. [80] 
variegated coloration. Steindachner, however, compares it with Solea 
Kleint, which it much resembles in color, but from which it differs in 
numerous respects. We have not seen the species. 
94. SOLEA BRASILIENSIS. 
Solea brasiliensis (Cuvier Mss.) Agassiz, Spix Pisc. Brasil., 1829, 87 (Brazil). Kaup, 
Wiegmann’s Archiv, 1858, 95 (Montevideo). 
Habitat.—Coast of Brazil. 
We know this species only from the descriptions of Agassizand Kaup. 
These two accounts do not agree very well and may refer to different 
fishes. It would appear to be very close to the European sole. None 
of the collections from Brazil in the museum at Cambridge contain any 
species of Solea. 
95. SOLEA KLBEINI. 
Rhombus kleinii Risso, ‘‘ Europe Méridionale, iii, 1826, 255.” 
Solea kleinii Giinther, Cat. Fish. Brit. Mus., 1862, iv, 464, and of numerous writers. 
Solea luctuosa Guichenot, Explor. Algérie, Poissons, 1850, 107. 
Habitat.—Mediterranean Sea. 
This species is subject to great variations in color, some of our speci- 
mens being excessively spotted, others almost plain. In all cases, how- 
ever, the coloration of the pectoral is distinctive. Our specimens are 
from Venice and from Palermo. 
96.SOLEA AURANTIACA. 
(THE LEMON SOLE.) 
Solea aurantiaca Giinther, Cat. Fish. Brit. Mus., iv, 13862, 467. 
Habitat.—Coasts of Europe, north to England. 
We have not seen this species. According to Dr. Day it is identical 
with Pleuronectes nasutus Pallas, and he regards both as the same as 
the original Pleuronectes lascaris Risso. Day therefore adopts for the 
Lemon Sole the name of Solea lascaris. Knowing none of these fishes 
from autopsy we can have no opinion of value in this matter, but it 
would seem to us that the Solea aurantiaca-of Giinther and also the 
Pl. lascaris of Risso correspond better to the species called lascaris in 
the present paper than to the Plewronectes nasutus of Pallas, which is 
the Solea theophila of this paper. 
97. SOLEA LASCARIS. 
Pleuronectes lascaris Risso, Ichth. Nice, 1810, p. 311, tab. 7, f. 32. 
Solea lascaris Giinther, iv, 467. Steindachner, Ichth. Berichte, vi, 1868, 50. 
Rhombus polus Risso, ‘‘ Europe Méridionale, iii, 249,” 1826 (not Pleuronectes polus 
Cuvier). : 
Solea scriba Valenciennes, Webb & Berthelot, [les Canaries, Poissons, 84, pl. 18, f. 3. 
Habitat.—Mediterranean Sea.
