  Remarks. 
  — 
  There 
  is 
  no 
  evidence 
  of 
  any 
  change 
  in 
  barbel 
  length 
  with 
  

   increase 
  in 
  body 
  length 
  from 
  the 
  statistics 
  presented 
  in 
  table 
  9. 
  The 
  

   relationship 
  of 
  the 
  number 
  of 
  bars 
  on 
  the 
  caudal 
  fin 
  with 
  increase 
  in 
  

   body 
  length 
  is 
  also 
  shown 
  in 
  table 
  9. 
  At 
  most, 
  one 
  more 
  bar 
  is 
  some- 
  

   times 
  formed 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  lobe 
  in 
  the 
  larger 
  specimens 
  and 
  this 
  bar 
  

   is 
  merely 
  a 
  touch 
  of 
  blackish 
  at 
  the 
  tips 
  of 
  the 
  outer 
  rays. 
  Only 
  one 
  

   specimen 
  had 
  such 
  a 
  mark 
  on 
  the 
  lower 
  lobe. 
  

  

  Very 
  little 
  intraspecific 
  differentiation 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  subfaunal 
  

   areas 
  from 
  an 
  analysis 
  of 
  color 
  and 
  color 
  pattern, 
  body 
  proportions, 
  

   and 
  meristic 
  counts. 
  In 
  table 
  10 
  the 
  statistics 
  of 
  the 
  number 
  of 
  gill- 
  

   takers 
  and 
  vertical 
  scale 
  rows 
  are 
  segregated 
  by 
  locahty, 
  from 
  the 
  

   east 
  African 
  area 
  eastward. 
  Some 
  of 
  these 
  localities 
  represent 
  sub- 
  

   faunal 
  areas 
  of 
  the 
  Indo-Pacific 
  region, 
  and 
  although 
  a 
  maximum 
  

   separation 
  of 
  about 
  12,000 
  miles 
  exists 
  between 
  the 
  extreme 
  localities, 
  

   the 
  data 
  does 
  not 
  suggest 
  any 
  significant 
  population 
  divergence.
