OF THE FISHES OF MADEIRA. 177 
the operculum, immaculate ; the dorsal and caudal fins being of the same uniform, 
rich olive or yellowish-brown umbre, as the back. The anal fin is paler, and 
the pectorals are brighter, but of the same tint, which also in some specimens 
spreads quite down the sides of the body. The sixteenth ray of the dorsal fin, 
and twelfth or thirteenth of the anal, are double, or forked to their base. 
Notwithstanding the external differences just indicated, I should scarcely have 
ventured, in the absence of better materials for comparison, to found upon them 
a new species, in a genus so intricate as Pristipoma, had they not been corrobo- 
rated by certain. important anatomical characters, at variance particularly with 
those assigned by MM. Cuvier and Valenciennes to their P. Rogerii (Hist. Nat. 
v. p. 254), the species which in other respects appeared most nearly allied to the 
Maderan fish. Its name is a tribute due to the memory of my much-regretted 
friend, E. T. Bennett, Esq., late Secretary to this Society.

The above slight modification of the name ‘‘ Heliases ’’ is proposed, in deference 
to the common rules of Greek derivatives.
