 des poissons, vol. 14, p. 252, 1839.

 SCARUS JONESI (Streets) 



Pseudoscarus jonesi Streets, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 7, p. 80, 1877. 



The large specimens from Rose Island reef (U.S.N.M. No. 115875) 

 are certainly the same species that Streets described.

The following young or half-grown specimens collected by me are 

 referred with uncertainty to this species.

SCARUS PURPUREUS Valenciennes 



Scarus purpureas Valenciennes, in Cuvier and Valenciennes, Histoire naturelle 

 des poissons, vol. 14, p. 277, 1839. 



The following specimens certainly have a different type of coloring 

 than others referred to C. sordidus by Fowler and Fowler and Bean. 

 Jordan and Scale's figure 57/^ is a fair representation of this species 

 or type of coloring.
