344 RAINBOW WRASSE. Class IV. 



The subject figured by Block, has the body 

 marked by parallel longitudinal stripes of green, 

 yellow, deep violet, and lighter shades of the 

 same color, fading into a silvery hue. These 

 stripes are very distinct ; the principal yellow 

 lateral line is undulated, rather than indented, 

 as it is represented to be in the Cornish speci- 

 men. Ed.
