  I 
  have 
  examined 
  70 
  specimens 
  (in 
  45 
  lots) 
  of 
  xanthurus, 
  22 
  of 
  which 
  

   are 
  in 
  the 
  Museum 
  of 
  Comparative 
  Zoology, 
  Harvard 
  University, 
  

   and 
  the 
  others 
  in 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum, 
  and 
  I 
  find 
  some 
  variation 
  

   in 
  color 
  pattern. 
  Among 
  these 
  specimens 
  12 
  had 
  black 
  dorsal, 
  anal, 
  

   and 
  pelvic 
  fins; 
  3 
  had 
  these 
  three 
  fins 
  dusky; 
  10 
  had 
  the 
  dorsal 
  and 
  the 
  

   anal 
  black 
  or 
  dusky, 
  with 
  pelvics 
  pale; 
  36 
  had 
  the 
  dorsal 
  black 
  and 
  

   both 
  anal 
  and 
  pelvics 
  pale 
  ; 
  9 
  had 
  dorsal, 
  anal, 
  and 
  pelvics 
  pale, 
  except 
  

   in 
  some 
  specimens 
  the 
  pelvic 
  fins 
  were 
  dark 
  edged. 
  Of 
  these 
  70 
  

   specimens 
  42 
  were 
  from 
  the 
  Philippines, 
  4 
  were 
  from 
  Japan, 
  2 
  from 
  

   the 
  China 
  coast, 
  18 
  from 
  Zanzibar, 
  1 
  from 
  the 
  Gilbert 
  Islands, 
  and 
  

   3 
  from 
  Kingsmill 
  Islands.
