Life colors of a specimen from Pago Pago, olivaceous, dull and pale, very faint streaks along the 

 rows of scales; anal dusky; caudal dull, colorless, with a dark streak along its whole margin above, 

 below and behind. Anal in, 9; scales 32; maxillary uncovered; eye 3.5 to 4 in head, hence smaller 

 than in the descriptions of L. troscheli. 



One specimen from Apia had a slight brassy luster in life, and faint olive lateral stripes. Another 

 was brownish above, the sides silvery, with the barest trace of striations; fins all plain, the caudal 

 dusky at tip. 



This species is very common about Samoa, entering the river mouths and brackish waters. 

 About 30 specimens were taken.
