Among these are Labriis bergylta, the ballan wrasse; Lahrus viridis, the green wrasse; Labrus ossiphagus, the red wrasse; and Labrus nierida, the black wrasse. Acan- tholabrus palloni and Centrolabrus exoletns have more than three anal spines. The latter species, known as rock cook, is abundant in western Norway, as far north as Throndhjem, its range extending to the northward beyond that of any other Labroid.

Allied to these, on the American coast, is the tautog or blackfish, Tantoga onitis, a common food-fish, dusky in color with excellent white flesh, especially abundant on the coast of New England. With this, and still more abundant, is the cunner or chogset, Tantogolabriis adspersus, greenish-blue. Fig. 48S.—Capitaiiie or Hogfish, Lachnolaimus falcatus.

In the Mediterranean are found many species of Crenilabrus, gaily colored, each species having its own peculiar pattern and its own arrangement of inky spots. Among these are Crenila- brns mediterramus, Crenilabrus pavo, and Crenilabrus griseus. With these are the small species called Ctenolabrus rupestris, the goldsinny, much like the American cunner, and the long- nosed Symphodiis scina. Of the many West Indian species we may notice the Capi-.
