 a bluish white bar across median part of body; scales posterior to 

 bar with piii-ple centers, those anterior being similar but lighter; fins 

 slightly tinged with olive; a small black spot on upper edge of base

 ocellus near end of spinous dorsal and a black spot on upper part of 

 caudal peduncle just behind base of soft doi-sal. 



ABUDEFDUF GLAUCUS (Cuvier and Valenciennes). 



This species may be recognized at once among the other blue 

 tide-pool fislies of Okinawa by the jot black anal opening. 



ABUDEFDUF TURCHESIUS Jordan and Seale. 



In life, bright cerulean blue with black markings on throat and 

 breast. The smaller examples have a more or less definite black spot 

 on body at base of last dorsal ray. The color fades rapidly as the 

 fish dies, the bod}' becoming dark, eacli scale with a dusky edge, the 

 throat growing yellowish. 



Specimens are very abundant in the pools. 



ABUDEFDUF CCELESTINUS (Cuvier and Valenciennes). 



Large examples were seen in the market, and a few young indi- 

 viduals were collected from the pools. They agree in all details with 

 Samoan specimens.
