418 PROCEEDINGS OF TEE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol. 42. 



posterior end of the ethmoid appears as a long, narrow process between the anterior 

 part of the frontal bonea. The haemal process of the first caudal vertebra is strong, 

 nonflexible, and is curved a little anteriorly. 



The color is bright red, with many transverse yellow bands. There are two longi- 

 tudinal yellow bands in the caudal fin. They originate at the base of the caudal and 

 gradually approach each other toward the posterior margin of the fin. On the upper 

 part of the fin there are two or three short, yellow bands, while the lower half is pale 

 blue. There is a median, black stripe between occiput and origin of dorsal, the lateral 

 boundaries of which are very distinctly marked. More of a literal species than the 

 preceding. 



This is the species figured and described by Otaki, Fujita, and 

 Higurashi.^ 



Numerous specimens were secured in the Tokyo market. Two 

 were purchased at Kagoshima.
