NO. 1792. JAPAiVESE LUTIANID^— JORDAN AND THOMPl-iON. 471 



Red Sea, mentions yellow spots and lines on the upper surface of the 

 head, and other authors give slightly differing color notes for the 

 species, showing it variable to a certain degree. In two small speci- 

 mens from Honolulu, in the Stanford collections, this color has faded 

 away entirely in alcohol, leaving the dorsal surface of the head a dark 

 brown in one case and much lighter in the other. 



But one specimen of this fish has been recorded from Japan. This 

 was presented to Jordan and Snyder by Professor Mitsukuri. It was 

 kept for some time in the Imperial University collections under the 

 name of the "Unknown Fish from Odawara." This specimen has 

 been described in detail by Jordan and Starks, who have also given a 

 full account of its osteology. Its affinities are plainly with Etelis.
