 smaller than that of Cijpsilurus simus and C, quindeciinradintus, the length being about 9 inches. Life 

 colors of one specimen blue above, pectoral with large spots, ventrals plain, basally dusky, no red on 

 pectoral. 



One fine example flew on board the steamer Kav.au off the western end of Tutuila, in the night.

Of this well-marked species, distinguished by its long dorsal of 14 or 15 rays, its large size and 

 the absence of pectoral markings, we have two large examples taken by Mr. A. P. Lundin in the sea 

 to the southward of Samoa.
