This species is placed in the list of Japanese fishes because the descrip- 
tion of GlypTiidodon vwlaceiis from Riukiu apparently refers to it. 
But there is room for doubt as to the accuracy of this identification. 
We have 3 or 4 very young specimens from Misaki, olivaceous in 
life, with two narrow cross-bands of bright yellow, the caudal yellow; 
no ocelli. They may belong to this or some related species. 
Still another species with a bright yellow caudal fin occurs in the 
tide pools at Misaki. Having no specimen more than an inch long we 
can not identif}^ this.

'^The height of the body is contained If times in the total length, 
without caudal; infraorbitals scaly; caudal fin slightly emai^ginate, with 
the lobes rounded. Mature specimens uniform brown, the dorsal, 
anal, and ventral fins being blackish toward the margin; a black spot 
superiorly at the base of the pectoral fin. Immature specimens with 
lighter dots, and with a large dark ocellus edged with whitish on the 
base of the posterior portion of the soft dorsal fin." (Gunther.) 
A little fish from Misaki, less than an inch long, with a large ocellus 
on the spinous dorsal, and a smaller black spot in the axil of the soft 
dorsal, can be referred to no other known species. It has the dorsal 
rays XIII, 16, the anil II, 13, the depth half the length, and the body 
with two pale cross shades. 
In coloration it corresponds to the '''' zonatus^'' form of Chrydptera 
hroionrlggl (Bennett) ( Glyphldodon antjerius Cuvier and Valenciennes), 
but in form of body and number of dorsal rays it differs widely from 
that species.

^ The writers have hitherto adopted for this genus the earlier name, Abudefduf, given 
by Forskal. Forskal divides the Linnaean genus Chxtodon into three subdivisions, 
corresponding to the modern families of Chgetodontidae, Pomacentridse, and Acan- 
thuridfe. To these he applies the names of Chietodon, Abudefduf, and Acanthurus.
