PISCES THORACICI. ZEUS. 
51 
The colour, like the rest, was silvery, yet less bright above the lateral line: all the fins were of a pale yellow, 
except the anterior part of the dorsal, and whole of the tail, which were orange. 
Length four inches. I never found them exceed six. 
REMARKS. 
These also are prepared in the same manner for the supply of the inland countries.

In shape, this is more exactly ovate than any of the former, but in other respects differs from the last, chiefly 
in colour; in the back not being serrate; and in wanting the recumbent dorsal spine. 
The colour a bluish white, somewhat darker on the back, and lighter on the belly; a broad yellow fillet from 
the opercula to the tail. The fins pale yellow, and a large dark spot on the fore part of the dorsal fin. 
The length of the subject four inches, and seldom exceeds eight. 
It is cured in the same manner as the former.

The paper containing the description of this pisciculus having been lost, I can say nothing more from recol¬ 
lection than that it possessed the general characters of those already described, and was of a silvery white, 
variegated, in the manner expressed in the drawing, though the exact colours are not remembered. 
The length of the second dorsal and anal fins is a conspicuous character.
