Yarr. p. 291. formosus Sw. Benn, Cey. pi. 16.

 IcthycaUus, but there is a conspicuous canine tooth, 

 as large as those in front, at the hind part of the 

 upper jaw on each side, and which projects beyond 

 the mouth ; ventral fins longer than the pectorals, 

 and pointed ; caudal truncate or rounded ; repre- 

 senting Chromis, Plesiops, &c.

Anampsis Cuv. General shape of the last, but the 



ventrals are small ; the front incisors in each jaw 



are flat, obtuse, and sometimes curved outwards ; no 



basal canines as in Halichores : representing Scarus.

* I suspect that this is the true Julis of the ancients, and not the one 

 standing under that name in our systems. Even the figure of Rondeletius, 

 rude as it is, represents the anterior dorsal spines longer than the other. 



f This interesting species, by having the first dorsal ray a little longer 

 than the others, connects this sub-genus with the last.
