Length of head 4|- to 4i, of caudal 4 j to 5i-, height of body 4 to 4i- in the total length. Eyes — diameter 

 5 in the length of head, If diameters from the end of snout, and 1 apart. Fins — caudal deeply lunated in the 

 adult. Colours — head violet, with several oblique reddish bands : body green, each scale with a vertical red 

 streak, forming bands : an oblong reddish-violet spot on the pectoral. Dorsal red, with a blue and yellow 

 margin : anal violet, with a yellow edge : caudal yellow, its base and lobes green. The young have a black 

 spot at the base of the second to the fourth dorsal rays, and some light blotches along the back, also a black spot 

 at the root of the caudal fin. 



Habitat. — Red Sea, east coast of Africa, to the Malay Archipelago and beyond. The specimen figured 

 (life-size) is from the Andamans .

 in length of head, \\ diameters from end of snout, and 1 to 1|- apart. Fins — outer caudal rays produced. 

 Colours — the upper two-thirds of the head and body olive brown, each scale having a vertical streak : the lower 

 third of the body white : a narrow blue dark-edged line passes from the lower angle of the orbit to the axilla : 

 a second across the angle of the preoperclo : a broad triangular spot exists in the axil of the pectoral, which fin 

 is yellow with a blackish extremity. Dorsal fin dark anteriorly, becoming a little lighter posteriorly, the soft 

 portion having a narrow white edge : caudal lobes dark olive. 



Habitat. — Ceylon to the Malay Archipelago.

Length of head 4 to 4j, of caudal 5 to 6, height of body 4 to 4i in the total length. .B^es— diameter 

 5 to 5i- in the length of head, 1|^ to 1^ diameters from end of snout, and 1 apart. Fins — caudal lobes produced 

 in the adult. Colours — in the young (J. hebraica) greenish, each scale having a vertical dark mark. A wide 

 violet dark-edged band passes from the eye downwards, a second backwards to the base of the pectoral, and a 

 third from the upper edge of the eye to the occiput. A bulf-coloured cross band edged with dark passes from 

 the two first dorsal spines to behind the ventral fin. Dorsal fin with a dark ocellus between its first and third 

 spines : a semilunar vertical band on the middle of the caudal fin. In the adult (J. guiiivittata) the bands on 

 the head and spots on the scales ai-e apparent, but there is no light cross band. The pectoral has a dark spot, 

 the colour being most intense at the edge of the fin. 



Habitat. — Red Sea, east coast of Africa, seas of India and beyond. The specimen figured (life-size) is 

 from the Andaman islands.
