VARIOLA LOUTI (ForskSl). 



Of two specimens secured in the market, the larger, measuring 330 

 millimeters in length, was colored as follows: Yello\\ash olive above, 

 shading into salmon red beneath, each scale with a darker center; 

 head, body, and fins with spots which are cerulean blue on the upper 

 parts, reddish on the sides, and decidedly red beneath, each spot 

 with a narrow, dark blue margin; posterior border of dorsal, anal, 

 caudal, and pectorals \\ath a broad margin of orange, the terminal 

 margin of the pectoral bordered proximally with bluish gray; outer 

 edges of ventrals reddish brown, the inner edges orange. In alcohol 

 the color is dark, the dorsal spots bluish gray, the ventrals white; 

 fins with the posterior edges white. The smaller example, 150 milli- 

 meters in length, is almost devoid of color, the light borders of the 

 spots and fins being scarcely distinguishable in consequence.
