Lethrinus nebulosus (Forskal). 

 Thirteen specimens. 



The specimens referred to this species vary considerably. None 

 have well-developed molar teeth. Nos. 505-6-7-8 have a sharper 

 angle at the nape than the other specimens. The smallest speci- 

 mens have dark, faint, vertical bars. Other variations shown in 

 the table seem to be of little taxonomic value. 



The profile of 501 is slightly concave, and the cheeks have a 

 few scattered dark blotches. A noticeable dark band from eye 

 to a little above the angle of the mouth.
