CORNUBIAN LABRUS. 



Labrus Cornubicus. L. rubens, pinnis flatis, radiis 

 dorsalis nigris, maculaque utrinqve ?iigra ad caudam.

Labrus Cornubicus. Lin. Gmel. Gold-Finny. Penn. Brit. 

 ZooL 



ALLIED in habit to the L. Tinea, being similar 

 in the form of the body, teeth, lips, and fins, but is 

 said never to exceed a palm in length: near the 

 tail a black spot, and the first rays of the dorsal fin 

 tinged with black : mentioned by Mr. Pennant 

 from Mr. Jago, who observed it about the coast of 

 Cornwall : the colours are not particularly specified, 

 but from its being compared to the L. Tinea we 

 may suppose them nearly the same, and from the 

 name Gold-Jinny it should seem that the fins are 

 yellow. 



LEOPARD LABKUS. 



Labrus Leopardus. L fusco-punctatus, squamis in- 



conspicuis, lima nigra ab ocvlis super opercula. 



Labrus, speckled with brown, with inconspicuous 



scales, and a dark line from the eyes over the gill-covers. 



L, Leopardus. Cepede. 



HEAD, body, dorsal, and anal fin, and tail marked 

 with dark spots composed of smaller ones : tail 

 marked by a deep-black band : two teeth larger 

 than the rest in front of each jaw. Native of the 

 Indian seas : observed by Commerson.
