of teeth. Gill-rakers, 7-+-9 short weak flexible points, 5 in filaments, 
latter equal eye. Three rows of cheek scales. Scales with 37 basal 
radiating striae, apical striae 14. Caudal rounded convexly. Color 
in aleohol with back deep benzo-brown to fuscous, becoming paler 
to dark ecru below. Dorsals, anals, caudal, and ventral blackish, 
more or less pale or slaty basally. Pectoral paler. Iris pale yel- 
lowish-white. Lipsdusky. Teeth paleor whitish. Side of body with 
seven vertical series of nearly light cinnamon-drab spots, on trunk 
three of four spots in each series, though on caudal peduncle only 
one or two. All spots with slightly darker marginal edge. Length, 
185 to 255 mm. Two from Zamboanga. 
Seale describes Callyodon albipunctatus from Sitanki Island, Jolo 
Archipelago, based on an example but 170 mm. long. Its colora- 
tion suggests the present species, though it is said to have only 
two rows of scales on the cheek and the lower limb of the preopercle 
naked. Also the gill-rakers are said to be numerous, minute, and 
hairlike.

latter; 2 scales above lateral line to spinous dorsal origin, 6 below 
to spinous anal origin; 7 predorsal scales; snout, 24 in head; eye, 
74; maxillary, 44; interorbital, 23. Two posterior upper cannies, 
hind one smaller and hidden. Gill-rakers about 15+-45, finely lance-
