  The 
  smallest 
  specimens 
  among 
  57 
  collected 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Robert 
  R. 
  

   Miller 
  from 
  Woods 
  Inlet 
  west 
  of 
  Darwin, 
  Australia, 
  have 
  a 
  variable 
  

   color 
  pattern 
  of 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  white 
  bars. 
  One 
  specimen, 
  20 
  mm. 
  in 
  

   standard 
  length, 
  has 
  only 
  one 
  white 
  bar 
  on 
  the 
  head; 
  9, 
  from 
  20 
  to 
  

   31 
  mm., 
  have 
  two 
  white 
  color 
  bars, 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  second; 
  7, 
  from 
  19.5 
  

   to 
  28 
  mm., 
  have 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  second 
  white 
  bars 
  distinct 
  and 
  the 
  third 
  

   indistinct, 
  sometimes 
  represented 
  by 
  a 
  white 
  spot 
  on 
  dorsal 
  edge 
  of 
  

   caudal 
  peduncle; 
  10, 
  from 
  17 
  to 
  25 
  mm., 
  have 
  all 
  three 
  white 
  color 
  

   bars 
  distinct. 
  I 
  presume 
  that 
  the 
  second 
  and 
  third 
  white 
  bars 
  dis- 
  

   appear 
  with 
  increase 
  in 
  size, 
  since 
  a 
  35-mm. 
  specimen 
  in 
  this 
  lot 
  looks 
  

   like 
  all 
  the 
  larger 
  specimens 
  with 
  only 
  one 
  white 
  bar 
  on 
  the 
  head.

  I 
  have 
  studied 
  72 
  specimens 
  from 
  the 
  Philippines, 
  Okinawa, 
  and 
  

   Japan 
  referable 
  to 
  this 
  species. 
  In 
  alcohol 
  two 
  color 
  phases 
  are 
  evi- 
  

   dent, 
  the 
  usual 
  one 
  (53 
  specimens, 
  ranging 
  from 
  37 
  to 
  100 
  mm. 
  in 
  

   standard 
  length) 
  has 
  a 
  plain 
  blackish 
  body 
  behind 
  head, 
  whereas 
  15, 
  

   ranging 
  from 
  39 
  to 
  60 
  mm., 
  have 
  3 
  lengthwise 
  pale 
  bands 
  on 
  side 
  of 
  

   body, 
  and 
  4 
  others 
  are 
  intermediate 
  in 
  regard 
  to 
  coloration. 
  These 
  

   pale 
  bands 
  at 
  best 
  are 
  not 
  very 
  distinct. 
  This 
  species 
  is 
  character- 
  

   ized 
  by 
  having 
  about 
  twice 
  as 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  with 
  IX 
  dorsal 
  

   spines 
  as 
  with 
  X; 
  this 
  latter 
  figure 
  is 
  the 
  usual 
  number 
  of 
  dorsal 
  

   spines 
  in 
  the 
  other 
  species 
  of 
  Amphiprion. 
  

  

  Of 
  78 
  specimens 
  in 
  54 
  lots 
  studied, 
  76 
  were 
  from 
  the 
  Philippine 
  

   Islands 
  and 
  one 
  each 
  from 
  Japan 
  and 
  Okinawa. 
  The 
  specimen 
  from 
  

   Okinawa 
  (the 
  type 
  locality 
  oi 
  frenatus), 
  USNM 
  71702, 
  Naha, 
  Okinawa, 
  

   Albatross, 
  69 
  mm. 
  in 
  standard 
  length, 
  is 
  herewith 
  designated 
  as 
  neo- 
  

   type 
  of 
  Amphiprion 
  frenatus 
  Brevoort 
  since 
  the 
  type 
  is 
  not 
  in 
  existence.
