Head .3 ; depth 3^ ; eye 4f in head. 1). IX, 10; A. Ill, 9; scales 3-24-5. 

 Dorsal and ventral ontlines regularly and similarly curved, body hij^hest 

 over pectorals ; nostril in front of eye, close together, very small, scarcely 

 larger than some of the numerous pores which surround the eye, the an- 

 terior round, with a circular marginal valve, the posterior oblong, with a 

 valve on lower side; eye 1| in snout, low, a line drawn from corner of 

 mouth to angle of opercle passing along lower edge of orbit; jaws project- 

 ing, the upper without canines; cheek with only 2 rows of scales; origin 

 of dorsal and root of pectoral in the same vertical, which is anterior to \\\) 

 of opercle; tips of last dorsal and anal rays reach base of rudimentary 

 caudal rays; caudal truncate, slightly rounded when the fin is spread. 

 Back dusky olive, a pale yellowish streak from upper side of eye to upper 

 base of caudal, below this a band similar in color to the back extends 

 from eye to caudal, sides below pale with an indistinct dusky streak from 

 above pectoral to caudal ; a horizontal green stripe from upper end of gill 

 opening forward through upper edge of eye and across top of snout; 

 another parallel with this from gill opening through loAver edge of ey»; 

 and around upper lip ; lower lip white, edged with green, a green band 

 across chin, and a pair of indistinct green blotches on throat; breast 

 washed with green; base and edge of dorsal and anal green, a broad 

 white stripe through the middle of each; upper and lower rays of caudal 

 white, tipped with orange, edged on each side with green, the middle rays 

 l)ale dusky green, paler at base; pectorals and ventrals white, the former 

 not dusky at base; teeth white. This species is most nearly related to 

 Scarus c(eruleus, but diifering decidedly in the color markings. The above 

 description is based on a single specimen 6 inches long. .Jamaica; only 

 the type known. (t///3/l?//zarzKc35, banner-like.)
