192. Pomacentrus jerdoni Day. 



Thu-teen specimens from Bulan (no. 3391 to 3399 and 3786 to 3789; length 3.75 to 6 in.). 



These agree with Day's description in every respect. They have 13 doi-sal spines, a black spot on upper 

 axil of pectoral, the lateral line discontinued under posterior end of soft dorsal, and not continued on caudal 

 peduncle, as in P. lapeinosoma, which has only 12 dorsal spines.

193. Pomacentrus moluccensis Bleeker. 



One specimen from Bacon (no. 3895; length 2.75 in.). Color yellowish brown; a small black spot at 

 origin of lateral line, another in upper axil of pectoral.

194. Pomacentrus littoralis Kuhl & Van Hasselt. Kiting. 



Two specimens from Bacon (no. 3896 and 3852; length 4 in.). Preopercle and preorbital strongly ser- 

 rated. Color in spirits, brownish, including all the fins; a small dusky spot at origin of lateral lines; some 

 bluish markings on head. 



This species is similar to P. moluccensis in some respects, but the latter is a deeper fish, considerably 

 lighter in color, with a black spot in axil of pectoral.

 IX, pi. CCCCIV, flg. 8; Giinther, Cat., iv, 32 (Amboyna; Dove Island; Port Essington). 



195. Pomacentrus tripunctatus Cuvier & Valenciennes. 



Eleven specimens from Bacon (no. 3679 and 3681 to 3690: length 2.5 to 3.5 in.). 



These specimens are all uniform brownish in color, the caudal scarcely lighter; a distinct round black 

 spot on top of caudal peduncle posterior to axil of soft dorsal fin; preopercle and preorbital denticulate. Our 

 specimens agree with Bleeker's figure, except that they are not quite so deep, the depth being 2.2 in length 

 without caudal; preorbital distinctly serrate.
