ICHTHYOLOGY 
TOXOTEH JACULATOR. 
Scseina Jaculatrix, Pall. Spicil. viii., p. 41. 
Labrus Jaculatrix, Lacep. iii., p. 429. 
Toxotes Jaculator, Guv. and Vol., vol. vii., p. 314, pi. 192. 
The specimen is only two and a quarter inches long, and 
does not appear to differ from the Indian ones ; the 
transverse spots of the body are very slightly marked.

' Nota. This genus is placed with the Squamipennes, but 
appears to me to constitute a separate family ; I would propose 
to call Toxotida*. 
LETHRINUS JOHNII. 
Anthias Johnii, Block., pi. 318. 
Mesoprion Johnii, Gunth., Gat, vol. L, p. 200. 
- Unimaculatus, Quoy. and Gaim., Voy. Freycinet, 
p. 304. 
Guv. and Vol., vol. ii., p. 441. 
Coius Catus Buck., Gang. Fish., p. 90, pi. 38, fig. 30. 
Remarkable by the large oval black blotch it has on each 
side; over the lateral line there are on the back rather 
numerous black, narrow, and oblique lines ; the palatine teeth 
are few and feeble. 
This fish is very much like Lethrinus Harah, of Farskal. 
Its usual habitat is the Indian Sea.

EQUULA EDENTULA. 
Scomber Edentulus, Block., pi., 426. 
Equula Ensifera, Guv. and Val, vol. x., p. 66. 
The specimen is only two inches long ; it agrees well with 
the description of the authors, but the second spine of the 
dorsal is shorter than stated by Dr. Gunther (three-quarters of 
the length of the head) ; it is, as Cuvier and Valenciennes 
describe it, one-sixth of the total length of the fish.
