Description. — See discussion that follows description of Uneolata 

 and data in tables 2 and 3 (pp. 591, 592) . 



Color in alcohol. — Body and head light tan with fine brown flecks 

 on cheeks, opercles, and sides of body; tip of jaws with some black 

 pigment flecks ; small brown spots forming a faint streak extending 

 from the tip of the upper jaw to beneath eye; a large, circular, black- 

 ish-brown blotch at base of caudal fin, sometimes diffuse to obsolete, 

 variable in size (smaller in younger specimens), usually a little less 

 in depth than least depth of caudal peduncle but in some small speci- 

 mens about one-half depth of caudal peduncle; spinous dorsal fin 

 tipped in blackish; remainder of fins transparent; traces of about 

 twenty brown and silvery, narrow, vertical bars in some specimens, 

 usually obsolete. 



Range. — Represented in our collections from the East Indies, Phil- 

 ippine, Samoan, and Marshall Islands. 



Remarks. — There has been no attempt to compile completely the 

 synonymy of this or the other species included in this paper, for it is 

 considered quite hopeless to do so without having the specimens re- 

 ported upon in the various literature, critical accounts of the species, 

 or good illustrations. This also applies to the "range" given for each 

 species.
