Of this well-marked species 12 tine specimens were taken at Apia. Life colors were noted in 

 various specimens as follows:' 



(1) Specimen from Apia called vwa mi. Olive-green, scales on sides brassy; belly whitish tinged 

 with golden yellow; a small, well-defined black lateral spot; fins all golden-yellow; lips orange-red; 

 no stripe on head; axil dark. 



(2) Specimen called feloilega, from Apia. Color the same as in no. 1, with black axil spot, except 

 that lower parts are shaded with coppery red; jaws bright red; fins all deep yellow; seems same except 

 for red color. 



(.3) From Apia. Coppery red, the belly paler red, the back olive; a small jet-black lateral spot; 

 fins all bright orange yellow, the dorsal dark on edge, the soft dorsal paler; a pale streak below eye. 



(4) Specimen called torra w/i'K/i, from Pago Pago. Dull olive-green, without red shades; lateral 

 spot distinct; fins above j'ellow olive; below more yellow, verging on orange; soft dorsal, anal, and 

 ventral with pale ciliji-; traces of bronze streaks along scales. 



This spcch ^, nil, 11 |M,isonous, is well distinguished by its small, well-defined lateral spot and the 

 absence of terih .in thi- imigue. It is well represented in Giinther's plate (Fische der Siidsee, pi. 16), 

 except that in that iiUito the first soft ray of the dorsal is represented as a spine. In our judgment, 

 (Jiinther and Sauvage are right in identifying the miMostigma of Cuvier & Valenciennes with Bleekor's 

 lioglossus.

 Mesoprion ehreiibergi Peters, Berl. Men. 1869, 704, New Ireland, New Britain.
