differences between any populations of the 

 species. Morphometrically, there appear to be 

 some differences between the small samples from 

 Japan and the eastern Pacific (Table 20), in such 

 characters as snout-second dorsal distance, pelvic 

 fin tip to vent, height of anal and second dorsal 

 fins. Until more material is examined, there does 

 not seem to be adequate data to support recogni- 

 tion of subspecies in S. orientalis. However, to 

 facilitate entry into the literature, the synonomies 

 have been divided into Indo-West Pacific (includ- 

 ing Hawaii) and tropical eastern Pacific.
