114 THE SHORE FISHES. 
Caesio tile Cuvisr & VALENCIENNES. 
Hist. Nat. Poiss., 1830, 6, p. 322 (428). Gi:nruer, Fische der Siidsee, 1874, 2, p. 34. 
Six specimens 518 to 5i¢ inches long from Manga Reva, coral. M. C. Z. 
29411 (3 specimens). 
The following life color note was found with the specimens: — “Lower 
parts bright red, fading to silvery; upper, greenish blue, becoming purple in 
formalin.” 
Opercle and subopercle are scaly; in other respects our specimens agree 
with Steindachner’s description of C. multiradiatus (Verh. Zool. Bot. Gesellsch. 
Wien, 1861, 11, p. 175, fig. 1). Giinther, (loc. cit.) places C. multiradiatus in 
synonymy of C. tile, giving the range of soft dorsal rays as 17-21; while our 
specimens do not show the same range (being 20-22), we assume that Giinther 
had more material and therefore accept his identification.
