CORIS Lacepede. (Remicoris Bleeker.) 



The genus Hemicoris, of Bleeker, having scales 50 to 60, differs from Coris only in the absence of 

 posterior canine teeth. These are not well developed even in Coris, and are said to be occasionally 

 absent. For that reason the genus probably can not be maintained. 



The genus Julis Cuvier (not of Bleeker or Giinther), having the scales 70 to 80, is better defined 

 and is possibly worthy of retention.
