31. Hyporhamphus dussumierii (Cuvier & Valenciennes). 



Four specimens from Bacon (no. 4005 and 3962: length 2.25 to 4.5 in.), and one from Bulan (no. 3739; 

 length 10 in.). 



We have compared these specimens with others from Samoa identified by .Ionian and Scale as //. ajjhlis and 

 find them indistinguishable, and we regard II. ajjinis Giinther as a synonym of H. dussumierii.
