311. Cheilinus rhodochrous, sp. n. Plate XI. fig. 3. [355,589.] 



D. ~. A. J. L. lat. 20. L. transv. 2/7. 



The height of the body is contained four times and a half, and the length of the head 

 three times and a half in the total length. Snout elongated, conical, the lower jaw 

 slightly the longer. The diameter of the eye is two-fifths the length of the snout. The 

 anterior tubules of the lateral line have a single lateral branch. The second series of 

 cheek-scales does not cover the lower prseopercular limb. Caudal rounded, sometimes 

 the upper and lower rays very slightly produced. Ventrals rounded. 



Colour in life. — Red, with blue spots and reticulated markings on the snout, opercles, 

 and occiput. An orange streak from lower posterior margin of eye to opercular margin, 

 just above the pectoral. Several blue lines across throat, from the lower series of cheek- 

 scales on one side to that of the other. Spinous portion of dorsal bluish anteriorly, 

 darker between the first and second spines, with a yellow line and darker blue spots 

 near the edge ; margin reddish. Anal and soft dorsal red. Caudal red, variegated 

 with darker and with a few white spots, and a broad whitish band across the base. 



Length 6 inches.

312. Cheilinus calophthalmus, sp. n. Plate XI. fig. 4. [517.] 



D. ~. A. J. L. lat. 22. L. transv. 2/7. 



The height of the body is contained three times and two-thirds in the total length, 

 and equals the length of the head. Cheek-scales in two series, the lower of which 

 consists of three, and covers the lower prseopercular limb. Snout somewhat produced ; 

 the length of the prseorbital equals the diameter of the eye ; the posterior margin of the 

 orbit is rather nearer the end of the operculum than the extremity of the snout. Tubules 

 of the lateral line slightly branched in front. None of the fin-rays produced. Colour 

 dark reddish brown ; head and opercles dotted with red ; a small black spot on the 

 middle of the interrupted portion of the lateral line, and another at the root of the 

 caudal. A black ocellus, with yellow edges, between the first and second dorsal spines ; 

 below this is a bright carmine spot, extending from the first spine to the third. 



Length b\ inches.
