The two arewidely distinct: S. ruber has the top of the head strongly ridged andspinous, as already stated in this present communication ; S. rosaceus,as its generic affinities indicate, has the same region almost entirelysmooth, the nasal and occipital spines being barely discernible : in the preopercular spines are blunt, almost truncated ; in S. rosa-ceus the same spines are long and very sharp : in S. ruber the anal finis small and rounded, its height being only about one-eighth of thelength of the fish, while the second and third spines of the fin arenearly as high as the soft portion ; in S. rosaceus the same fin is muchlarger and pointed, its height being more than one-sixth of the lengthof the fis
