Terapou serviis enters the streams of Polynesia, and is a very common fish of the river mouths, taken in Samoa by the boys. Terapou tJieraps is found throughout the East Indies. Terapou ricliard- soni is the Australian silver perch. Casio contains numerous small species, elongate and brightly colored, largely blue and golden. Scolopsis, having a spine on the preorbital, contains numerous species in the East Indies and Polynesia. These are often handsomely colored. Among them is the taiva, Scolopsis triliueatits of Samoa, gray with white streaks and markings of delicate pattern. A fossil species in the Italian Eocene related to Poinadasis is Pomadasis furcatns. Another, perhaps allied to Terapou, is called Pclates quiudccimalis. A X^/",. Fig. 279.—The Red Tai of Japan, Pagrus major Schlegel. Family Sparidce. (After Kishinouye.)
