Text Appearing Before Image:
Chap. X.) THE SCARUS HARID. 335 the East Indian Seas, and of these the one figured above is, perhaps, the most common. Another species known to occur on the coasts of Cey- lon, is the Scorpcena miles, Bennett, or Pterois miles, GriintherS of which Bennett has given a figure^, but it is not altogether correct in some particulars. In the fishes of Ceylon, however, beauty is not con- fined to the brilliancy of their tints. In some, as in the Scarus harid, Forsk', the arrangement of the scales is so graceful, and the effect is so heightened by modi- fications of colour, as to present the appearance of tes- sellation, or mosaic work.

Mai. Fish. p. 42), is again different, and be- longs to a third species. ^ Fishes of Ceyhn, PL ix. ' This is the fish figured by BENmBTT as Spams pepo. Fishes of Ceylon, Plate xxTui. * In extenuation of the httle that is known of the fresh-water fishes of Ceylon, it may be ob- served that very few of them are used at table by Europeans, and there is therefore no stimulus on the part of the natives to catch
