POMACENTRUS NIGRICANS Lacepede. 

 POMACENTRUS MELANOPTERUS Bleeker. . 

 POMACENTRUS DORSALIS Gil!. 



The synonomy adopted by Jordan and Snyder ^ for a species, P. 

 dorsalis, described by Gill,^ may also include P. delurus Jordan and 

 Seale.^ Several specimens agreeing almost perfectly with Dr. Theo- 

 dore Gill's description and also with a cotype of P. delurus were col- 

 lected in the pools at Naha. The spot at base of pectoral mentioned 

 by Gill is scarcely discernible and the posterior bluish spots are faint. 

 The cotype of P. delurus has 15 ra3''s in the dorsal, the spot on the 

 soft dorsal is not ocellate, but has only a light border anteriorly; the 

 scales in the lateral line number 25 or 26.
