The principal differences of this pisciculus from the preceding, are a little variation in shape, the posterior portion 
of the dorsal fin by rising more in an arch, having more of an interrupted appearance; and the solitary spine 
in the anal fin. 
There is very little difference in colour, but a row of blackish dots runs along the bottom of the dorsal 
fin, not found in the other. 
The length seldom exceeds four inches. 
REMARKS. 
I have before expressed my doubts of the propriety of placing some of the preceding subjects under the 
genus Zeus, more especially No. LIX. which bears so strong an affinity to the genus Chaetodon. Similar 
doubts subsist also in respect to No. LXVI. LXVII. and LXVIII. I was in hopes of receiving, in time 
before the publication of these papers, specimens of the above dubious fishes, from India, but have been 
disappointed. 
Should No. LIX. prove a Chsetodon, the smallness of the ventral fins presents a good specific character.
