THE SHOHK FISHES. 315 



Although Jordan tt .Sealc include this species in Sebastapistes, they state 

 that it has no pahitine teeth. The presence of palatine teeth is one of the gen- 

 eric characteristics of Sebastapistes. Jordan & Scale make the Scorpacna 

 Iristis of Giinther's Siidsee a synonym of Sebastapistes kwtalc notwithstanding 

 that Giinther says it has palatine teeth. We therefore transfer it to Scorpae- 

 nopsis.

One specimen (poor condition), No. 05937, if inches long from Suva, Fiji 

 Islands. 



The specimen has no supraorbital cirrhus, but one of the two cotypes of 

 Jenkins had none, while the other had a conspicuous one. In other respects it 

 agrees very well with the description given by Jenkins.
