BALISTES. 133 



The body has four dark-brown cross bands : — the first behind the eye ; the second 

 over the middle of the back, interrupted at the pectoral, and continued below it 

 towards the belly, the two portions forming nearly a right angle ; the" third from the 

 base of the dorsal and before it towards the belly ; the fourth on the upper part of the 

 tail. These bands are marked with indistinct bluish streaks, and have deep-brown 

 spots ; the interstices between them have numerous brown ocelli ; none, however, occur 

 on the belly. Caudal yellow, with dark upper and lower margins, and a few brown 

 ocelli on the base.
