One specimen, h\ inches long. 



Head 2f, depth 21, eye %\ ; scales 7-52-14 ; D. X, 13 ; A. Ill, 7. 



Preoperculurn finely denticulated, a black band extending from 

 eye to upper base of caudal (rather indistinct posteriorly, in alcoholic 

 specimen, but black anteriorly) ; an enlarged blotch in this band 

 under last rays of spinous dorsal; caudal emarginate middle rays to 

 outside rays as 4 : 5 ; dorsal with ten spines. Eye equal to snout, 

 interorbital 1* in orbit. Lower edge of eye on a line drawn from 

 tipofopercle to lower edge intermaxillary. About 10 teeth on 

 lower limb of preopercle and 43 on upper, those at the angle larger. 

 Upper limb very slightly emarginate, and the notch overinteroper- 

 cle but faintly indicated. Maxillary nearly to vertical from middle 

 of eye, equal to distance from snout to middle of eye. In each jaw 

 there is a single row of sharp pointed teeth, of irregular size, a pair 

 toward the front of upper jaw being somewhat enlarged. In the 

 upper jaw and in the front of the lower there is a narrow band of 

 cardif'orm teeth within the single row of canines. Numerous micro- 

 scopic cirri on end of lower jaw. Origin of pectoral in front of tip 

 of opercle, origin of dorsal over, and of ventral under tip of opercle. 

 Origin of anal under that of soft dorsal, end of anal under next to 

 last ray of dorsal. Ventrals extend a little over half way to anal, 

 length of pectoral equals greatest depth below lateral line, length of 

 caudal but little less than that of pectoral. Third, fourth and fifth 

 dorsal spines longest and equal. Second anal spine strongest, third 

 the longest, equal to sixth dorsal. Ventral spine shorter than third 



1 Bloch is responsible for the generic name here used. His first spelling, 

 vol. 7, p. 84, and pi. 245, is Lutianus, as above.
