TOTAL LENGTH 



Figure 8.- — Relations between distance from snout to insertion of second dorsal fin and total length. Solid circles repre- 

 sent Hawaiian data; open circles represent Costa Rican data; solid triangles represent Godsil's west-coast data. 

 Fine solid line is linear regression line fitting west-coast data, while heavy solid line is linear regression line fitting 

 Hawaiian data. Fine broken line is Godsil's curvilinear regression for west-coast data, while heavy broken line is 

 similar regression fitted to Hawaiian data.
