* This is a new species of Dory, brought from the Cape by M. Delalande, and 
is strikingly separated from the others, by the extreme elevation of the crest of the 
cranium. A very excellently preserved specimen of this fish, may be seen among 
the anatomical collection of the Royal College of Surgeons. | 
+ Individuals of this species were taken in the Mediterranean on the coast of 
Corsica, near Ajaccio, by M. Payraudeau, and on the coasts of the Peloponesus by 
M. Bory St. Vincent. We find a figure of them also among some plates engraved 
in Spain, and which have not yet, we believe, been published; so that though more 
rare than the Sparus Auratas, Lin., it seems to inhabit the same parts. It is 
known by the thickness of its snout, as well as by the greater length of its body, 
its height being contained three times anda half in its length; the neck is much 
more elevated in proportion ; the eyes are larger; the space between the eyes wider 
and projects more; the lower edge of the under orbital is more arched ; the preoper- 
culum more rounded; its border straighter, but equally bare. The interoperculum 
is much larger, and crosses under the throat with that of the opposite side; the 
jaws are much swelled; there are six large incisors, and four rows of grinders in 
the upper jaw, and three in the under; they are larger and wider apart; the ovalar 
tooth is more rounded; the dorsal is lower; the pectoral rather wider. The ventral 
rays are very strong, and extend themselves in the form of a large fan. The 
number of rays areas follows: D. 1I—13; A. 3—11, C.17; P. 15; V.I1—5. The 
scales are close, higher than wide; we have counted more than eighty, from the 
gill to the end of the tail; the lateral line is almost straight. The individual we 
saw, was nearly as fresh as when taken out of the water; the colour is deep blue 
on the; back with bright gold reflexions; these reflexes proceedec from a golden 
streak traced on each scale. On the shoulder, and on the top of the operculum, is 
seen a large black spot, The front of the cranium is blue; the face is bluish, with 
copper reflexes. Between the eyes there is a crescent more arched than that of the 
common Dory, and of the most beautiful colour of polished gold. On each temple 
in front of the superscupular, is a very beautiful spot, as brilliant as the crescent. 
The under part of the orbit is also gilt, as well as the border of the preoperculum. 
The lower part of the operculum, and the lower jaw, are similar to the red of polished 
and brilliant copper; the fins appear bluish grey. The individual obtained near 
the coast of Corsica, was about eighteen inches long; that of the Morea only a foot, 
and yet its large oval tooth was already out. None of the authors, we have con- 
sulted, appear to have any knowledge of this beautiful Dory, which is equal to the 
other in the brilliancy of its colours. 
{ A new species found by MM. Quoy and Gaimard near Amboyna, and figured 
by Cuvier and Val., in their Icthyology under this name. It forms part of a new 
subdivision, in which is embraced the Chetodon tetracanthus of Lacepede.
