BorHus PANTHERINUS. 6. 
Family 2. PARALICHTHODID. 
Eyes on the right side ; olfactory lamine arranged transversely to 
or radiating from a central rachis. 
The absence of spinous fin-rays, the extension forward of the dorsal 
fin on the head, the emarginate urohyal, the absence of a supra- 
maxillary and of palatine teeth, show that Para/ichthodes is a true 
Pleuronectoid ; but it differs from the Bothidae in having the eyes on 
the right side and from the Pleuronectidae in the arrangement of the 
olfactory laminze.
