* After the above was written, three specimens were collected in Pifias Bay, Panama, in 60 feet of water by 

 Walter A. Starck II and others of the Marine Laboratory, University of Miami. A fourth specimen was 

 speared by Starck at a depth of 35 feet at Oorgona Island, Colombia. This fish was observed in life to be 

 concealed in, but not touching, a gorgonian. A 35-mm. kodachromc transparency taken by Starck shows 

 4 horizontal and 9 near- vertical maroon bars on a whitish ground color.
