SALARIAS QUADRICORNIS Cuvier and Valenciennes. 

 Scartichthys enosimse Jordan and Snyder, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 25, 1903, 



p. 460. 

 Salarias rivulattis Jordan and Seale, Bull. U. S. Bur. Fish., vol. 25, p. 429. 



Salarias enosimse appears to differ in no way from S. quadricomis, 

 S, quadricornis differs from S. rivnlatus in having tentacles on the 

 nape. The latter is apparently related to S. zebra of Hawaii. Speci- 

 mens recorded as S. rivulatus from Samoa prove on close examination 

 to be representatives of S. quadricornis. 



PETROSCIRTES LOXOZONUS Jordan and Storks. 



The canines of the upper jaw are separated from the other teeth 

 by a conspicuous open space. Curved canines, much longer than 

 those above, are present in the lower jaw, no space existing between 

 them and the other teetli. On each side of lower jaw, at angle of 

 mouth is a peculiar flap, above which the lip forms a small fold partly 

 inclosing the upper canine. 



Color in life: Body with narrow, pearly white bands and reticu- 

 lations which along the back inclose deep green areas that are mar- 

 gined with olive; on sides, the green areas extend do^mward and 

 become bro^\niisli; other parts light olive, growing yellowish toward 

 the caudal and whitish on the abdomen ; chin yellowish, with small olive 

 spots; spinous dorsal yellowish olive, with light yellow stripes; soft 

 dorsal yellow, witli oblique pearly white stripes; caudal yellow edged 

 with red, the filamentous tips bright red; anal yellow, with oblique 

 lines and a narrow margin of pearly white; ventrals bright yellow.
