the throat, extending higher than the bases of the pectorals. A short, flattened, 

 fringed postorbital tentacle ; no other filaments. Dorsal origin above bases of 

 pectorals ; dorsal notch very shallow; extremities of rays protruding beyond 

 the membrane. Anal origin below the tenth ray of the dorsal, rays of the 

 fin exserted ; the membranes descend from ray to ray, forming a serrated 

 margin. Pectorals broad, nearly straight on the upper border, convex on the 

 hinder edge, broadly rounded on the lower margin. Caudal one-fifth of the 

 total length, medium rays longest, separated from dorsal and anal. The rays 

 protrude on all the fins. 



Color uniform dark olivaceous, lighter on the bellj'', anal, ventrals, and 

 pectorals ; each of the fins except the caudal with a whitish edge. Very young 

 with more of light color on lower surfaces and fins. 



Found " hopping about on the rocks above high tide " on Solo Island, North 

 Astrolabe Reef, Fiji Islands.

In all likelihood this fish belongs to Bloch's species, though the figure given 

 by that author neglects the fringed filaments on the nape, the nasal filaments, 

 and the short barbel below each angle of the mouth. The bands on our fish 

 are less numerous and extend but halfway up on the dorsal ; thence they are 

 broken into small spots.

On the middle of the flank of very young specimens of this fish there is 

 a longitudinal streak of brown, becoming wider and more noticeable from the 

 ventrals to the base of the caudal. Another streak of brown extends along the 

 median line of the ventral surface. On the middle of the back there is 

 a vertebral line of very small dots with a line of similar dots immediately
