Abstract
I HAVE lately observed the spectrum of a pigment-colour found under the scales in fins and tail, mouth and eyes, of a small smelt-like fish found in St. Vincent's Gulf, S.A. They are commonly known as the Weed fish, but Mr. Waterhouse, our Curator, informs me they are the Odax radiatus, O. frenatus, O. Richardsonii. These fish are perfect little gems for colour, being of a bright blue green (nearly blue) in O. Richardsonii, and about the eye most splendid; black centre, brilliant orange ring, outside of which is a most brilliant turquoise blue ring set in deep brown.
