Pleuronectes Zebra, P. fasciis transversis plwimis. Lin. Syst, 

 Nat. Gmel. p. 1226. Block, t. 187. 



An elegant species, and readily distinguishable 

 by its colours, the upper part being white, with a 

 brownish cast towards the back, and marked from 

 head to tail by numerous, double, deep brown, 

 transverse bands, passing across the fins them- 

 selves : the body is rather longer in proportion than 

 in the common Sole, and the dorsal and anal fin 

 are continued into the tail which is of a slightly- 

 pointed shape: the scales are rough and toothed
