70 MEMOIRS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM. 



412. Halichoeres ornatissimus (Garrett). Ohua paawela. (J. & E., p. 286.) 

 Halichoeres iridescens Jenkins. 



Not common. 



413. Halichoeres lac Jenkins. Lao. (J. & E., p. 285.) 

 Rare about Honolulu. 



AIacropharyngodon Bleeker. 



414. Macropharyngodon geoffroyi (QuoyandGaimard). Hinaleaakilolo. (J. & 

 E., p. 288.) 



Macropharyngodon aquilolo Jenkins. 

 A rare fish about the reefs. 



('oris Lacepede. 

 ( Hcmico7-is Bleeker.) 

 This genus mainly differs from Halichoeres in the much smaller scales and in 

 the absence of the posterior canine. This tooth is wanting in the t\iie, Coris 

 aygula, as in all the Hawaiian species referred by Jordan and Evermann to Coris 

 and Jidis. In the type of Julis ( Labrus julis Linnaeus) this tooth is present. No 

 species of Julis is found in Hawaii. 



415. Coris gahnardi (Quoy and Gaimard). Lolo. (J. & E., p. 305.) 

 ( 'ommon about the reefs. 



41G. Coris pulcherrima Giinther. Hinalea lolo; (J. & E., p. 305.) 



Very common. Close to the preceding species, but with colors not quite 

 the same. 



417. Coris lepomis Jenkins. Hilu lauwili; Uhu. (J. & E., p. 306.) 



A large and handsome fish, often appearing in the markets; easily recognized 

 by the black opercular flap, like that of the genus Lepomis, or "Sun-fish," of 

 American streams. The fish recorded by Fowler as Coris oijgida, Proc. Acad. Nat. 

 Sci. Phila., 1900, p. 510, is no doubt this species. 



418. Coris eydouxi (Guvier and Valenciennes). Hilu. (J. & E., ]). 309.) 

 A largo and beautifully colored species. Common. 



419. Coris flavovittatus (Bennett). (J. & E., p. 308.) 



Very rare. On the j^late giAcn by Jordan and EATrmann, dra\ni from a 

 specimen from Laysan, the yellow shades, l)right in life, are poorly represented, 

 the colors being very dull. 



420. Coris greenovi (Bemiett). (J. & E., p. 308.) 



One of the most beautiful sj^ecies, l^lood-red in life, with white spots above, 

 edgcnl with black. Originally described from Hawaii, but not seen there since. 

 Our s]iecimen is from Samoa.
