Museum 1901, 82, Guam, not of Bloch. 

 Amphiprion monofasciatus Thiol Here, Fauna Woodlark, 198, 1857, Woodlark I. 



Of this species four specimens were taken by us at Apia, and one at Pago Pago. The specimens 

 agree well with Bleeker's plate and with each other, and the species is no doubt a valid one. 



Life colors of a specimen from Apia, deep reddish brown, the caudal peduncle bright brownish, 

 the anterior region deep orange brown or cinnamon; a pale violet stripe across head edged before and 

 behind with indigo-blue; ventral and anal black; dorsal reddish brown; paler behind; pectoral deep 

 cinnamon brown; caudal pale brownish yellow. 



801. Amphiprion arion De Vis. South Seas. 



Amphiprion arion De Vis, Proc. Linn. Soe. N, S. W. 1884, 450, South Seas. 



802. Amphiprion polymnus (Bloch). Palau Is. ; Ponape; East Indies; Japan. 



According to Gunther this species, with melanopus, tricolo', ehrysopterus, and xanthurus, is based 

 on variants of Amphiprion ephippium. This view is open to question.
