Part IT. ANACANTHINI. 
The ANACANTHINE fishes are by no means abundant in Cochin, 
either in the number of genera represented or the individuals form- 
ing the several species. As arule they are good eating; but their 
scarcity precludes their being frequently brought to the tables of 
Europeans, They are generally known by the designation of ‘ Sup- 
patu”’ (Mal.), a word meaning ‘a shoe.”
