This fish, which by Linnaeus was associated with 
the Chaetodons, has been formed into a distinct 
genus by Dr. Bloch on account of its teeth, which, 
instead of being arranged in a single row, as in 
those animals, are disposed into several concentric 
ranges. It is a native of the American seas, and is 
represented on the plate of about half its natural 
size.
