344 BULLETIN OF THK BUREAU OF FISHERIES. 



Of this rare species very few specimens are linown. The specimens from the Hawaiian Islainl- 

 called muUicinctus are probably identical with Ouiiodon imnclalofuscmlus, on^inaWy described from an 

 unknown locality, but located by Bleeker in the East Indies. 



Bleeker finds 6 to 8 dark bars on his species, and figures 8. Those seen by up, all from Hawaii, 

 have, like the type of Chatodon mullicincius, but 6 bars.

 This little fish much resembles Chslodon cilnnellus, but the lines of dots form vertical stripes, aii'l 

 the anal is nearly plain, without the broad stripes of black and of glossy yellow characteristic ui 

 Cli:ito<li>ii cilnneUax. Chnlodon mdiaris seems to be confined to the Hawaiian Islands."

 This species is distinguished from Chelodon milutris, which it much resembles, by a bright golden 

 stripe just above (dorsad) a jet black stripe along the edge of the anal fin. The dark stripes extend 

 in most specimens, for the whole length of the body. Chaiodon mtrinellus is one of the smallet^t 

 species, rarely exceeding four inches. It is common about the coral <-eefs of Samoa. We have 15 

 specimens from Pago Pago and 50 Irom Apia. 



Life colors ot a specimen from Apia, dull light yellow olive, with series of blue spots along rows 

 of scales; lorehead brown, clear, ocular band narrowly edged above on both sides with grayish white, 

 this border yellow-washed in larger examples, anal with a broad, black edge above a band of bright 

 yellow; caudal plain orange, rather bright; soft dorsal yellow, with a narrow black, then a white line.

 This species is rather common about Samoa, 42 specimens being in our collection. It is rather 

 rare about Honolulu, where it is taken, however. We have one young example corresponding to 

 Cliictodon tau-nigrum. The species is common in the East Indies. 



fi We may here add an uncertain species.

The coloration shown in Gunther's plate of Cheetodon miliaria is not at all that of the species in question, which is not 

 known outside oi Hawaii. We have notes on two young examples from Samoa corresponding to Giinther's plate, but wc 

 have not been able to find the specimens irom which the notes were taken. These probably represent a species still 

 undescribed. 



i^ife colors of a specimen from Apia, olive yellow; clear yellow on head and breast; small bright blue stripes along 

 rows ot scales; soil dorsal with black edge, anal with a wider one, and a white stripe at oase with one at edge; a black 

 blotch on oase ot caudal peduncle, with two bright yellow spots and edged belore and behind with pale; caudal behind 

 bar Whitish. Young. 



Another specimen, Irom the same locality, was gray with oblique dark blue stripes upward and backward; whole 

 outline ot body deep golden yellow; ocular band broad, the part before it golden; dorsal and anal all golden, the soft 

 dorsal darK at oase and with a dark edge, tne dorsal and anal brighter yellow near the edge; caudal colorless, a broad 

 black; oar at base surrounded by golden, this net on tne fin.
