East Indies, Philippines, Polynesia. Our materials differ some- 

 what from Bleeker's account and figure, especially in the presence of 

 a third dark transverse bar at the origin of the soft dorsal on the 

 back. Its dark opercular spot is another point of difference. The 

 young of this species are much more contrasted than the adult, with 

 the dark spot at the second dorsal origin quite small, the other dark 

 vertical bands extend further down on the side and the third some- 

 times extends diffusely to the dark spot at the bases of the last anal 

 rays. Also the soft dorsal has a subbasal dark band longitudinally 

 and the soft anal has a basal band of dusky.
