| PLATE XXVI. 
This plate exhibits an extensive view of а coral-bank near Galle, chiefly formed of several 
different kinds of Heteropores. The light horizontal tract in the distance, which indicates the 
highest part of the reef, remains a long time exposed to the sun at low tide and consists chiefly 
of dead coral. 
Among the fish there is again a species of Chaetodon (Vittatus), which is perhaps the 
finest of the kind, whith its gorgeous sides exhibiting nearly all the colours of the rambow.
