JTJLIS Cuvior. 



963. Julis greenovii Bennett. Samoa; Hawaii; Manado. 



Tliis striking fish is rare about the Samoan Islands. We have three specimens from Apia. It 

 was originally described from Hawaii, but we did not find it there. The colored plate in the report 

 on the fishes of Hawaii is from a Samoan specimen. The coloration shown in that plate is much les> 

 bright than that in nature. 



Life colors of a specimen from Apia, deep scarlet-red, each scale with an olive speck, below pun- 

 cherry-red, 5 blotches on back pure white edged with black, a black blotch on tail filled with bright 

 blue spots; a bar on caudal black, whitish in middle; anal red with a blue edge; ventral, also pectoral, 

 light orange-red; a row of blue spots at base of anal; dorsal clear red with a blue-black edge. 



964. Julis pulcherrima (Giinther). Hawaii; Samoa; Tahiti; Aneiteum; New Hebrides; Guam; 



New Guinea; East Indies. 



Tliis lieautiful fish seems to be rare about Samoa, though rather common at Honolulu. We have 

 one adult specimen from Apia, which agrees very well with Bleeker's figure. 



Life colors, head coppery red with green stripes edged with violet; throat with a blackish green 

 stripe; body reddish brown, becoming blackish behind; almost everywhere covered with small deep 

 violet spots; crowded behind, sparse in front, none on head; dorsal bright orange, brown at base witli 

 violet-blue spots; soft dorsal cherry red; candal plain golden yellow running on to orange on edges; 

 anal drab orange-brown with violet mai'kings; pectoral orange, the axil blue-black, edged with grasi^- 

 green; ventral olive, with a wide maroon stripe, then a violet edge. 



965. Julis g'aimardi Qiloy & Gaimard. Hawaii; East Indies? 



This species is rather common about Hawaii. It is possible that the East Indian specimens called 

 Coris gaimardi belong to some other species. 



966. Julis cuvieri Bennett. New Hebrides; He de France. 



967. Julis flavovittata Bennett. Hawaii; Laysan. 



968. Julis eydouxi (Cuvier & Valenciennes). Hawaii. 



969. Julis lepomis Jenkins. Hawaii. 



HOLOGYMNOSUS Lac^pede. 



970. Hologymnosus longipes (Giinther). .\neiteum. 



971. Hologymnosus elongatus (Giinther). Aneiteum. 



972. Hologymnosus semidiscus (Lacepede). New Guinea (Macleay); Tahiti and Rarotonga 



(Scale); East Indies. 

 I Lafjyii^ anindatus Lacepede.) 



CHEILIO Lac^pfede. 



This genus, close to Thalassoma, differs in the elongate body and smaller scales. There seems to 

 be but one species, widely distributed and varying considerably in shade of color. 



973. Cheilio inermis (Forskal). Masamie; Moai. Hawaii; Samoa; Guam; Vanicoln; Tahiti; 



Aneiteum; New Guinea; East Indies. 

 This common and widely spread species is rather scarce at Samoa, though very abundant at 

 Honolulu. We have one specimen from Ai)ia. 



THALASSOMA Swainson, (/u/w Giinther, not of Cuvier. ) .Su^ate (choice). 



This genus is distinguished by the presence of 8 dorsal spines, large scales, and no posterior canine 

 teeth. The species are all beautifully colored. 



974. Thalassoma duperreyi (Quoy & Gaimard). Hawaii; Johnston I.; Laysan; Mangareva, Gam- 



bier Is. (Seale); Acapulco (as Thalassoma steindachneri Jordan & Evermann). 



( Thalassoma clepsydralis Smitli & Swain.)
