Family TRIACANTHID.^. 



TRIACANTHUS Cuvier. 

 79. TRIACANTHUS STRIGILIFER Cantor.

{Moiiacanthus hajain Bleeker. ) 

 Foul' specimens, corresponding to Monac<(iithus hajani of Bloch, a 

 species apparently distinct from Monacauthiis tonientosus. The manu- 

 script name of Van Hasselt, surothura^ published by Bleeker in an 

 earlier paper, seems to claim priority over his own name hajavi.

 82. CANTHERINES MACRURUS (Bloch). 



One specimen. This species is the type of Pf<eudoiiion<(canthus, a 

 subgenus differing from (Jantherinen in the unarmed dorsal spine, a 

 character apparently of less than generic importance.

One large example.

 ensls Proce, with lengthwise lines of black above and below; these
