and the dorsal without distinct dark blotch. The life colors of one of the specimens from Calayan 
(probably female) are described by McGregor as “stone gray; belly white; a narrow red line across base 
of pectoral.” 
171. Abudefduf amabilis (De Vis). (Glyphidodon brownriggii var. xanthozona, Giinther, Siidsee; 
not G. xanthozona of Bleeker.) 
Three specimens, 0.75 to 2.50 inches long, from Calayan. 
172. Abudefduf glaucus (Cuvier & Valenciennes). (Glyphidodon modestus Schlegel.) 
Three specimens, 2 and 2.50 and 2 inches, from Cagayancillo and Ticao. Life color of Cagayancillo 
specimen bluish gray above; white below. 
173. Abudefduf antjerius (Kuhl & Van Hasselt). (Not Glyphidontops antjerius Bleeker = Chetodon 
brownriggti Bennett. ) 
Two specimens, 0.50 inches long, from Ticao Island, and two, 1 inch, from Calayan. These speci- 
mens have a black blotch partly on back and partly on base of latter part of spinous dorsal, and a small 
black spot on posterior base of soft dorsal. A narrow sky-blue band, not wider than pupil, passes back- 
ward from in front of and above eye on each side to a point on top of the back directly under the fifth 
or sixth dorsal spine. Comparison with Samoan specimens indicates that the sky-blue stripe fades 
or becomes narrower with age. In no case does it appear to occupy the whole space between the base 
of the dorsal and the lateral line, nor does it extend backward beyond the fifth or sixth ray of the spinous 
dorsal. 
174. Abudefduf brownriggi (Bennett). (Not Glyphidodon brownriggii of Giinther, which is A. 
zonatus.) 
A single example, 0.66 inch long, from Ticao Island, may be referred to this species. The speci- 
men has a black blotch at the back of both dorsals, and the space between the lateral line and the basal 
edge of the dorsal fin is a bright sky blue, in a band about equal in width to orbit, and extending as 
far back as the base of the caudal peduncle; body below lateral line pale brownish olive in spirits. 
This species, or form, does not differ from Abudefduf leucopomus except in the absence of the black 
blotch on the top of the base of the caudal fin. From Abudefduf antjerius it seems to differ mainly in 
the greater width and length of the sky-blue band, and in the sharp demarcation of the upper color from 
that below the lateral line. 
175. Abudefduf sapphirus Jordan & Richardson, new species. 
Head 3.37 in length to base of caudal; depth 2.50; dorsal xt, 1; anal 1, 11 or 12; scales 27; eye 3 
in head; nose 4.50; interorbital space 3.80; maxillary 3 in head, equal to eye, its tip under anterior

border of orbit; teeth compressed, in a single row in each jaw, not notched; preopercle not denticulate; 
pectoral 1.27 in head; ventral 1.16; caudal 1.20; subtruncate, the upper rays a little the longest; depth 
of caudal peduncle 3 in head.
