species, according to our lots. There are certainly no constant char- 

 acters to sharply define the various shades of color. The extremes 

 are very contrasted, however, and easily suggest allied species, though 

 the large black sharpl3^-defined pectoral blotch is ever constant. 



An extremely interesting specimen is one from Gane Road, Gillolo 

 Island, which differs as a very aberrant color variet3^ In general 

 it is brown, paler below and inclining to very light brown or even 

 whitish on soft dorsal, caudal, and base of anal. A few pale grayish 

 spots on scales on cheek tmd opercles. Spinous dorsal anteriorly 

 and lower half of anal dusky, also pectoral base. This is the Poma- 

 centr'us nigromanus Weber, except that he does not mention the spots 

 on the side of the head.
