242 EXPEDITION OF THE "ALBATROSS," 1S99-1900. 



In the present paper fifty-three famihes and two hundred and thirty-one 

 species are represented, of which eight species and one genus, Paragobioides, are 

 new. 



The new species are Kuhlia proxima, Lutianus marginatoides, Therapon 

 maculatus, Dascyllus pomacentroides, Rupiellia lacunicola, Paragobioides grando- 

 culis, Petroscirtes quadrimaculatus, and Canthigaster constellatus. 



The table (p. 338-343) shows the distribution of the species among the groups 

 as indicated by the collection. 



The Friendly Islands, owing to their proximity to the Tonga Group, have 

 been included with the latter. 



The plates were made from drawings by Miss Violet Dandridge. 



Specimens representing 143 species contained in this collection have been 

 sent to the Museum of Comparative Zoology, others including the tyjies of the 

 new species to the U. S. National Museum.
