Among these are Labrus bergylta, the ballan wrasse; Labrus viridis, the green wrasse; Labrus ossiphagus, the red wrasse; and Labrus merula, the black wrasse. Acan- tholabrus palloni and Centrolabrus exoletus, 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, Tautoga

Allied to these, on the American coast, is the tautog or blackfish, Tautoga 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, Taiitogolabrus adspersns, greenish-blue. Fig. 319.—Capitaine or Hogfish, Lachnolaimus fakatus. Florida. in color, the flesh being also more or less blue. This fish is too small to have much value as food, but it readily takes the hook set for better fishes. In the Mediterranean are found many species of Crenilahrus, gaily colored, each species having its own peculiar pattern and its own arrangement of inky spots. Among these are Crenila- brus niediterraneus, Crenilabrus pavo, and Cremlabrus griseus. With these are the small species called Ctenolabrns ntpestris, the goldsinny, much like the American cunner, and the long- nosed Symphodus scina. Of the many West Indian species we may notice the Capi-.
