ART. 33. NOTES ON FISHES OF HAWAII E. K. JORDAN 25 



to show differences between the common form (pidcherrima) and 

 the longer known gaimardi, but without much success. I believe 

 the two to be identical. Giinther mentions a posterior canine in 

 C. gaimardi^ but I fail to find it. 



CORIS VARIEGATA (Ruppell). 



This strongly marked species is recorded by Fowler. 



CORIS, species indetermined. 



In the aquarium at Waikiki I saw a living species of Coris^ ap- 

 parently undescribed. The following are its life colors : 



Back with obscure broken greenish longitudinal stripes, below 

 lateral line these become rows of quadrate vertical spots much 

 deeper than long ; top of head marbled, the sides of head with about 

 three rows of darker blotches on the side; dorsal and anal blue- 

 edged; caudal clouded at base, then black, becoming paler at tip; 

 ear spot blue, rimmed with black. A large fish, looking like C. 

 lepomis and with the ear spot as in C. eydouxii (blue-black in color), 

 but apparently different from either. The first dorsal spine is 

 elevated. 



Genus ANAMPSES Cuvier 



ANAMPSES GODEFFROYI Gunther. 



There can be no doubt that the painting of Garrett, on which 

 the name godeffroyi rests, was intended for the fish later called 

 Anampses evennanni by Jenkins. Garrett's painting was hastily 

 made, but could represent nothing else. 



Family POMACENTRIDAE 



Genus CHROMIS Cuvier 



CHROMIS SINDONIS Jordan and Evermann. 



This fish, not obtained b}^ me, cannot be placed in Abudefduf^ 

 and is near Chromis, from which genus it differs only in having a 

 deeper body than others. 



CHRONIS VERATER Jordan and Tliompson. 



Two specimens of this rare species taken.

 Family SCARIDAE 



Genus LEPTOSCARUS Swainson 



(Colotomus Gilbert: CaUyodon Cuvier and Valeucienues, but not of Gronow, 

 nor of Scopoli, nor of Schneider, the type of these authors being Scarus croi- 

 censis Bloch, of the West Indies.) 



The name Leptoscariis, given by Swainson to Scarus vaigiensis of 

 Quoy and Gaimard, a near ally of Leptoscarus irradians, is the oldest
