ART. 33. NOTES ON FISHES OP HAWAII E. K. JORDAN 29 



This species is of the same general type as Searidea aerosa which 

 it resembles almost exactly in outline and other characters, but the 

 two species differ utterly in coloration. S. farrandi lacks the 

 golden or brassy crossband, lacks the large scarlet patches about 

 the head, is much lighter in ground color, and shows longitudinal 

 lines upon the lower side. From other species of the genus it differs 

 in the more elongate body and the strongly convex anterior profile. 



I take pleasure in naming this species for Dr. Livingston Far- 

 rand, President of Cornell University, in recognition of his interest 

 in this collection of fishes. 



SCARIDEA BALIA Jenkins. 



A second specimen is recorded by Fowler. 



SCARIDEA ZONARCHA Jenkins. 



A small, deep bodied, compressed species, with strongly obliquely 

 barred anal and generally mottled appearance, known only from 

 three specimens obtained by Jenkins at Honolulu in 1889.
