SYNODUS VARIUS (Lacepede). 



An example remarkable for its size, 350 nun. lon^-; ditt'ers in no 

 way from smaller specimens. 



SARDA CHILENSIS ( Cuvier and Valenciennes). 



A specimen al)out 6U0 nmi. long-, belongs without doubt to this spe- 

 cies. The head is contained 3i times in the length; the maxillary 

 extends to a vertical through posterior edge of orbit. There are six 

 dark oblique stripes on the bod}^ the uppermost and lower ones 

 being indistinct. Dorsal with eighteen spines. This is the first rec- 

 ord of the species from Hawaii. Apparently the identification of the 

 Japanese Sarda oriental ii< and the California Sarda Uneolata with 

 Sarda chilensis from Chile is fulh^ justified. 



NOVACULICHTHYS KALLOSOMA ( Bleeker). 



One specimen, the second recorded from the Hawaiian Islands. 

 Ground color, grass green, as in an example from Samoa. 



CALLICANTHUS METOPOSOPHRON Jenkins. 



One specimen. i^iS-t mm. long. Head, -iir in length; depth, 2|: eye, 

 3| in head; snout, 1|. 



■OSTRACION SEBiE Bleeker. 



Ostracion canmrum Jenkins, Bull. V. >S. Fiyh Com. for 1899, p. 396, fiu- 9, 

 Honolulu. 



Five specimens, measuring from 85 to 120 mm. in length; ditier in 

 no way from specimens collected by Dr. Jordan in Samoa. Two 

 examples have the ventral surface without spots, while two others 

 have the same area spotted like the back. In one specimen the spots 

 extend inward along the edges of the ventral surface of the carapace. 

 Some have the caudal peduncle with spots onlv, while others liave 

 elongate white bands of irregular shape, no two being alike in this 

 regard. The largest individual has a transverse white band between 

 the e^'cs. 



TROPIDICHTHYS PSEGMA Jordan and Evermann. 



One specimen, measuring 118 nun. The dorsal has 12 rays; the 

 snout measures ]| in head; the dorsal prominence is equally distant 

 between tip of snout and base of last dorsal ray. This is the second 

 specimen recorded, but several others were taken in Samoa by Jordan 

 and Kellogg in 1901. 



CHEILODACTYLUS VITTATUS Garrett. 



Two specimens, measuring 175 and 215 mm. long, respectively; 

 larger and more deeply colored than any of the few specimens hitherto 

 known.
