We find in the genus Choetodon a
very large group of beautiful and
singular fish. They are particularly
abundant in the tropical seas, and
especially are they to be found about
the volcanic rocks and coral reefs.
Usually the body is crossed by trans
verse black bars. and the curious
form Of the fish, together with weird
markings, presents a combination
that is difficult to imagine, unless
you have the live creature to OBJ
serve or, an illustration which will
give you some idea what these fish
do look like.
AL OF the fish found in the waters
with the scaly-finned neighbor are
especially active. They are ap-
parently all of one mind, that of
obtaining food which consists of
small animals hidden under stones.
among the plants or hidden in debris
OF a type present in such places.
The scaly-flnned fish is a 90
getter, as you may see from the alert.

color of the fish is an exquisite COM

The very deep body is compressed,
the back elevated. The exceptionally

are quite fleshy, as well as the un-
