LEPIDAPLOIS PERDITIO (Quoy and Gaimard). 

 EPIBULUS INSIDIATOR (PaUas). 



A fresh market specimen was bright orange, each scale having a 

 narrow, vertical, brownish bar; dorsal ^^ith a median orange stripe, 

 above which the membrane is suffused with green; a barely discern- 

 able brownish stripe extending through eye toward upper edge of 

 gill opening. The same specimen, measuring 210 miQimeters in 

 length, when placed in alcohol became plain yellowish reUeved by a 

 dusk}' bar on the head and a few faint dark spots on the scales. A 

 larger preserved specimen is ver}' dark in color, the fins being almost 

 black. The pectoral has a distinct hght border and the scales have 

 dark borders except in the region immediately above and behind the 

 pectorals, where they are much lighter. The dark stripe on the head 

 is very conspicuous..

 STETHOJULIS PHEKADOPLURA Bleeker. 



One very small specimen from the pools is referred with some 

 doubt to this species. 



STETHOJULIS AXILLARIS Quoy and Gaimard. 



Four specimens, measuring about 700 miUimeters long, from the 

 pools are identified with the Haw^aiian S. axillaris, for when directly 

 compared they resemble specimens from Honolulu very closely. It 

 is probable that tliis species and S. handanensis (Bleeker) are synony- 

 mous. In alcohol the Okinawa specimens are not abruptly lighter 

 below as are examples of S. handanensis from Samoa described by 

 Jordan and Sealo, but on the contrary the dark color of the upper
