The latter two species forui an interesting addition to a section of 

 the genus Serranus distinguished by the elongation of the lašt ray 

 of both the dorsal and the anai fin. Two other species of this sec- 

 tion have been described by MM. Cuvier and Valenciennes, to whom 

 they have oniy very recently become known. Of one of these, Serr. 

 fUamentosus, as well as of the two nevv species above described, spe- 

 cimens are contained in the Mauritius collection.
