The peculiarities of the colouring of this Fish, Mr. Bennett stated, 

 induced him to regard it as distinct from those figured under the 

 name of Ac. velifer by Bloch and by Dr. Ruppell ; which eJso he 

 considered, on a comparison of the figures published by those au- 

 thors, to be specifically different from each other, and distinguishable 

 by the subjoined characters.
