Family KYPHOSID^:. 



215. Kyphosus elegans (I'ttcrs). 



AbniithuiL ill the market; also taken by us about tbe focky islands. No speci- 

 mens of K. nnalogus were observed, thougli these were carefully looked for. It is 

 probable- that Panama records of K. analogus refer to degans. The differences 

 separating these closely related species are well shown by our specimens, 'i'lie scales 

 are comparatively large, there being 63 to 08 in the lengthwise scries above the 

 lateral line. The anal is more elevated than the dorsal, the height of its anterior 

 rays being contained li times in the base of the soft portion of the fm. There seem 

 to be constantly 13 rays in the second dorsal and 12 in tlic anal (instead of 12 in one 

 and 11 in the other). 



Our specimens vary widely in color. One is almost unifonuly deej) biuiizc 

 on head, body, and fin.s, there being only faint traces posteriorly of the lighter streaks 

 whifh ill other specimens follow the centers of the rows of scales. Othci' si)ecimens 

 approach more nearly the bright coloration found in A', analogus, some of the streaks 

 being noticeably blue. 



216. Sectator ocyurus {Jordau X- (Jilbcrl). 



Seen on two occasions only, but present then in considerable numbers.

 eye is contained 41 to 4| times in the head (not 4). The scales on the breast are
