Th i s species agreeing in most circumstances, excepting colour, with the one last described, may perhaps be 
reckoned only a variety: the variation however was found to be constant. The form of the body more 
rhombic; the teeth, as in the Latte, regular, setaceous, without the curve teeth in the upper jaw, as in the last 
species: the fins less squamous, but in like manner remain expanded after death. 
The general colour silvery without spots; the lips and iris red; the membrane of the dorsal spines, and the 
pectoral fin slightly tinged with the same colour, but the dorsal, anal, and caudal fins distinguished by a 
broad band of deep red, on both sides. 
Length ten inches. 
REMARKS. 
The last two fish, though of inferior quality to the Pomfrets, are superior in quality to No. LXXVII 1 . and 
LXXIX. The latter, indeed, is sometimes brought under the name Terla, and the names of the three species 
are often confounded by the fishermen. 
No. LXXXI I.

utrinque. 
The Chtetodon with a lunate tail; nine spines in the dorsal fin ; and a moveable spine 
in a groove, on each side of the tail.

Th e body perfectly ovate, much compressed, rough to the finger, but smooth to the eye ; covered with very 
minute, oblong, tenacious scales, which are not, as in the preceding species, continued on the fins. 
The head large, much compressed, the front declivous, but not so abrupt as in the former species, naked, yet 
to the touch roughish. The mouth nearer the belly than the back, small, terminal, horizontal; lips thin. 
Jaws of equal length, extractile. Teeth in a regular row, strong, though short, a little curve, fixed, yellow. 
Tongue short, small, white, tied. Palate smooth. The eyes high, large, round, nearer the opercula than the 
front. Nostrils near the orbit, close to each other, very small, round, the anterior largest. The opercula 
without scales, but roughish like the face. The branchial membrane concealed; the aperture semicircular.
