125. Holocentrus suborbitalis Gill. 

 Taken in abundance in the rock-pools. Our .specinaens do not materially 

 differ from the description of the type. The statement that "the tail behind the 

 vertical fins nearly equals a ninth of the total length" should doubtless read "the 

 height of the caudal peduncle behind the vertical fins nearly equals a ninth of the 

 total length." The length of the tail behind the vertical fins is about 3^ in the total 



length.

^ In this table, the head is measured to the angle formed by largest opercular spine and edge of subopercle. The preopercular 

 8pine is measured along its upper edge from its angle with preopercle.
