195. Pomacentrus tripunctatus Cuvier & Valenciennes. 



Eleven specimens from Bacon (no. 3679 and 3681 to 3690; length 2.5 to 3.5 in.). 



These specimens are all uniform brownish in color, the caudal scarcely lighter: a distinct round black 

 spot on top of caudal peduncle posterior to axil of soft dorsal fin; preopercle and preorbital denticulate. Our 

 specimens agree with Bleeker's figure, except thai they are not quite so deep, the depth being 2.2 in length 

 without caudal; preorbital distinctly serrate.
