on latter; 2 scales above lateral line to spinuus dorsal origin, 6 below 
to spinous anal origin; 5 predorsal scales; 3 rows of cheek scales; 
snout, 22 in head; eye, 52; maxillary, 5; interorbital, 3. Single 
exposed posterior canine above each side. Gill-rakers, 11-++-24, slen- 
der fine flexible points, 44 in gill-filaments, which equal eye. Scales 
with 30 basal radiating striae, apical striae 28, parallel. Dorsal 
‘spines flexible. Caudal concave behind. Color in alcohol, back 
nearly sepia, below paler to nearly maize-yellow. Dorsals, anals, 
and caudal, also upper pectoral edge, brown like back, though outer 
portions of all darker. Obscure transverse band of brown across 
interorbital connecting eyes. Length, 190 mm. Zamboanga. 
CALLYODGN PRONUS (Fowler). 
Head, 24; depth, 22; D. TX, 10,1; A. III, 9, 1; scales 18 in upper 
section of the lateral line, 5 in lower section to caudal base, and 
2 more in latter; 2 scales above lateral line to spinous dorsal origin, 
6 below to spinous anal origin; 4 predorsal scales; snout, 23 in head; 
eye, 62; maxillary, 64; interorbital, 3. Two posterior canines each 
side above and one below each side. Giull-rakers, 12%131, slender, 
flexible, 4 in gill-filaments, which equal eye. ‘Scales with 36 basal 
radiating striae, apical striae 32. Color in alcohol now largely 
faded dull uniform brown. Lips pale. Pale line from rictus to 
lower edge of eye. Small blackish blotch, less than pupil in size, 
at pectoral origin. Dorsals and anals with submarginal dusky line, 
leaves fin edges pale yellow, though that of anals broader. 
Emarginated caudal also with similar dark line behind. Length, 203 
mm. Cebu. 
Compared with the type of Scarus pronus Fowler* in the 
Academy and agrees. Slight differences, due to preservation and 
individual variation evident. In type two lower left canines, 
though only one right. While our Cebu example shows but two 
rows of cheek scales type has three, the lowest on the preoper- 
cular flange. We think in the case of the Cebu example they may 
have fallen. The front profile is less sinuous. Though the type has 
been varnished, the black spot at the pectoral! origin is still apparent. 
CALLYODON MURICATUS (Valenciennes). 
Head, 24 to 3; depth, 22 to 22; D. IX, 9,1, or 10, 1, A. IIT, 9,1; 
scales, 16 or 17 in upper section of lateral line, 8 or 9 in lower section 
to caudal base and 2 more on latter; 2 scales above lateral line to 
spinous dorsal origin, 7 below to spinous anal origin; 5 predorsal 
scales; snout, 2 to 24 in head; eye, 5 to 64; maxillary, 4 to 4}; inter- 
orbital, 3 to 32. No posterior canines. Upper lip covers at least half
