Wehaxr iiiiiiirii.ii> specimens of a large sardine from the shores about Apia. It agrees closely 



with Giinther's account of Chipea sirm, and must be the fish thus called by Giinther. It has only a 



single dark spot behind the gill-opening, and the species with a .series of .such spots along the side 



(leiogasler and punctata) must be different. It is, of course, an excellent food-fish.
