FISHES OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS AND ADJACENT SEAS 93 



Serranus pavoninus Valenciennes is noticed : D. X, 13. A. Ill, 8. 

 Keddish, with four first rays of soft dorsal with black ocellus, circled 

 brilliant silvery. Caudal square cut, appears yellow, with small 

 vertical black basal line. Other fins gray. Length 25 mm. 



Bloch's figure of Anthias johnii shows the lateral line a little steep, 

 the caudal round, the pectoral short and denticulations on the pre- 

 opercle edge large. Young specimens are like the adults in general 

 appearance, though have a greatly narrower infraorbital, more so 

 than the young of equal size of Lutjanus fulvifiairmia. 



Lutiamts hudsoni Evermann and Shaw seems to be simply a 

 variant without the black lateral spot and but 11 dorsal rays.
