naceus. Comparing the specimens at hand with some specimens of the latter 

 species from Jamaica considerably larger in size they are somewhat more 

 slender, darker and more uniformly colored. One of them, however, has 

 3 opercular spines on one side as in the typical R. saponaceus and 2 on the 

 other, while the other specimen has 2 on each side. There is little differ- 

 ence in the connection of the dorsal fins between the two species. The lower 

 of the preopercular spines is the longer.
