pale olive, in one specimen the latter predominating; a distinct dark 

 brown or black stripe from eye toward origin of dorsal, another from 

 eye to angle of preopercle, a pair of hlack stripes on top of head, a 

 pair of small black blotches behind nape and a faint black blotch in 

 front of dorsal ; pectoral colorless, other fins black, anterior edge of 

 soft dorsal and broad tip of caudal white. 



So far as is known, this species is confined to the western Atlantic. 

 It is certainly different from Lobotes erate of the East Indies, and 

 the Pacific coast species of Lobotes, called Lobotes pacificus by Dr. 

 Gilbert (Ms.), is widely different and may belong to a different 

 genus.

The numerous specimens here noted are, on an average, more 



slender than specimens from Florida with which we have compared 



them. They are, however, quite variable, and there is no basis for 



a specific distinction. Depth 21 to 2f.
