 It may be well to state here that I consider the classification 

 of the genus Labrichthys to be far from satisfactory. I 

 have good reason to believe that dependence upon colour 

 markings, however peculiar and brilliant, is to a great 

 extent delusive. Like the genus Monocanthus^ many 

 of them change colour with age. There are none of the 

 genus in much favour as food, — with the exception of 

 the Blue-head.
