LONG-PINNED CILETODON. 



Chaetodon Teira. C. albus, corpore elevato-orbiculari, pinntt 

 dorsali analiquc magmt t falcatis, longissimis. 



White Chsetodon, with high-orbicular body, and large, ex- 

 tremely long, falcated, dorsal and anal fin. 



Chaetodon Teira. Lin. Block, t. 1.99./. 1. 



GENERAL shape similar to that of the preceding 

 species, and the dorsal and anal fin even consider- 

 ably longer in proportion, but not so broad : colour 

 of the body silvery-white, with rather small scales, 

 and variegated by three broad, transverse black 

 bands, the first of which runs across the head 

 and eyes, the second across the fore-part of the 

 body and dorsal fin, and the third across the hind 

 part of the body, dorsal, and anal fin ; the whole 

 forming an appearance singularly elegant : the vent- 

 ral fins, which are of a lanceolate shape, are also 

 black. This curious fish is a native of the Indian 

 and Arabian seas, and is said to arrive at a con- 

 siderable size, though the specimens usually seen 

 are but small.
