FISHES OF THE PHOENIX AND SAMOAN ISLANDS 239 



Fowler's original description and figure are considerably in error. 

 The dorsal rays are VI-10, not VI-6; anal 8 or 9, not 6; scales 25 

 to 28, not 23; his figure 4 does not agree with his description. The 

 coloration of liis figure agrees with my specimens.
