330 EXPKDITIOX OF THK " ALHATHOSS," 1X09-1900. 



In the cotype, the ground color similar to type but instead of spots 

 there ai-e about the same number of cross bars on the body and extending across 

 entire side, narrower at base of dorsal, than at base of anal, most distinct in 

 middle line of body, extending across anal and to middle of dorsal; rest of 

 dorsal as in type; anal without light border and other fins as in type. A light 

 spot in center of each of the broad dark bars on body appearing as an intensih- 

 cation of the longitudinal silvery stripe of the type; the narrowing of the bars 

 on back due to the diverging of the pairs of lines that make up the interspaces, 

 and the light bars across the lower part of the body continuous with these inter- 

 spaces and not as in the type. 



In the specimen from Papeete the color on body is similar to the type, 

 except that the light bars across the lower portion are continuous with the 

 interspaces and the bars of both dorsal and anal continue entirely across 

 dorsal and anal with no marginal stripes.
