pectorals, each consisting of a short spine only two-thirds as long as 

 the eye. The caudal i.s united with the dor.sal and the anal, but is not 

 tapering. 



The following are Dr. Stejneger's field notes: " Color olive brown, 

 with minute black spots: belly yellowish; a Avhite line runs through 

 the lower border ol' the no.strils, below the eyes backward to the pos- 

 terior margin of the operculum in the direction of the i)ectoral ftn."

D. XCIV ; A. II, 40 or 47. In this specimen the maxilla extends to a 

 point below the front of the eye. The pectoral is two-fifths as long as 

 the head, and the ventral but two-thirds as long as the eye. The 

 caudal is connate with the doisal and anal, but is distinctly difterenti- 

 ated from these and consists of a large number of rays (22). 



No. 33877, U.S.N.M. (2341). Same as above. This exami)le, which 

 is 117 mm. long, has 02 dorsal spines. Its pink color is still preserved, 

 and there are traces of numerous narrow, nearly vertical, pale bars 

 across the posterior portion of the dorsal fin.

 Six specimens. The bright pink color of these examples is well pre- 

 served. In one of them the dorsal has 94 spines; anal II, 40. 



The coloration of the species is very brilliant. Across the spinous 

 dorsal theie are 20 narrow, nearly vertical, pale streaks. Similar 

 streaks to the number of 12 cross the anal. Along the middle line of 

 the body there are 18 small, narrow, round, pale spots at irregular 

 intervals about as large as the jmpil. Some of the specimens still 

 show the Avhite line running obliquely from the tip of the snout under 

 the eye to the end of the head, limited above in some specimens by a 

 narrow line slightly darker than the body color. The pectoral is pale 

 at base and tij), the middle portion pink. Sometimes the pink area is 

 closer to the base, leaving most of the tin pale. 



The length of these examples varies from 130 to 150 mm. In only 

 one of these the caudal fin is sharply differentiated from the dorsal and 

 anal by the obli(|ue direction of its rays.
