Tliis species was reported as Chaetodon modestus by Jordan and 

 Fowler/ an example of which they later describe as Coradion desmotes, 

 new species. 



Only the young of this species has been reported from Japan. Like 

 many others it is apparently carried by currents to the northward far 

 beyond a latitude where it is able to reach maturity. Young examples 

 from Tanegashima were very light gray with' a bluish tint, reddish 

 orange posteriorly; dorsal, caudal, and anal edged with dead white; 

 ventrals and pectorals pale blue. 



CORADION MODESTUM (Schlegel). 



Coradion desmotes Jordan and Fowler, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 25, 1903, 

 p. 539— Smith and Pope, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 31, 1907, p. 480. 



Temminck and Schlegel's figure appears defective in not showing 

 dark edges to the cross-bands. The caudal is nearly truncate, not 

 lunate as in this figure nor rounded as represented by Jordan and 

 Fowler, 



Smith and Pope record a specimen from Urado. The fish dealers 

 at Kagoshima recognizing the species from a figure, stated that it is 

 occasionally found there. 



MICROCANTHUS STRIGATUS (Cuvier and Valenciennes). 



IVIisaki pools. 



HOLACANTHUS BISHOPI Seale. 



One specimen 17 millimeters long was found in a pool at Msaki. 

 Adults were taken at Okinawa,
