which the cormorant and fhag [p. carlo & graculus) and four new animal 

 ipecies, are again widely different. But the charadiers of the feet, 

 and the naked Ikin in which the eyes are iituated, being common

Among the filh we have only feparated a genus from the 

 chcetodorif which differs from it by having no fcales on the fins, a 



■t 



fpine on each fide of the tail, and a different number of branchio- 



fteg 



rays 



t 



Of this genus which has obtained 



name of 



Harpurus, there are feven fpecies, viz, three new ones, (4, 

 the r/j. nigricans,) (5, lineatus) (6, fafciatus oi Linn^us ) 



and 



7 



one defcribed by Haffelquift, and en-oneoully quoted for 



the ch. nigricans by. L 



We have augmented the L 



genus of sciiENA, with eight new fpecies, which have every one 

 the fame generic charaders, fo that this genus now ftands mors 

 firmly among the reft.,, to which it is related.. The genera of 



LABRus and sparus merit the utmoft attention of the naturalifts^ 

 fince every writer gives us different, and often contradidory cha- 



raderiftics
