This species is common about Samoa, where about 100 specimens were taken. It resembles 

 Abudefduf zonatus, but is of a washed-out blue color in life without white bar or black ocellus. 



Life colors of a specimen from Apia, pale sooty olive, yellowish on belly; fins all grayish; pre- 

 opercle and preorbital with pale edge; a dull orange tint on soft dorsal and caudal; pectoral deep 

 yellow, soiled with dusky; anal dark-edged anteriorly. 



Another specimen from Apia was violet-blackish with green luster; fins all pale bluish with 

 yellowish tinge; ventral bright yellow; no fin spots; three whitish spots violet-tinged on sides on 

 level of pectoral, O-shaped; more of these on other side and irregular.

This little species is very common about Samoa, 150 specimens, of all sizes, being taken. None 

 shows blue stripes or lines, and nearly all have a single white bar on each side. This is lost in the 

 very oldest. In the largest of all is a distinct whitish blotch on the soft dorsal near its last rays. 



Life colors of various specimens were noted as follows: 



(1) Specimen called tu'u'u, from Apia. All blackish, with pale centers to scales; head reticulated 

 gray and blackish; a black speck at end of opercle; caudal with yellowish shade at base; finsotherwise 

 black; caudal and soft dorsal paler behind; pectoral dusky and black. 



(2) From Apia. Dusky olive; a white cross-bar under middle of body; a black ocellus edged 

 with white on last dorsal spines; dorsal pinkish dusky; other fins all dusky. 



(3) From Pago Pago. Blue-blackish; a broad whitish gray cioss-band; an obscure black spot 

 under last dorsal spines; a jet-black spot in axil of last dorsal ray; dorsal dull orange, blackish at base; 

 caudal dull orange; pectoral yellow, axil black; ventral and anal blackish. 



(4) From Apia. Deep steel-blue, each scale with a paler center along side; a distinct white band 

 under middle of soft dorsal; dorsal black at base, the upper two-fifths orange, not very bright; belly 

 dusky; no opercular spot or ocellus; caudal dull orange, the edge dark; anal all blue-black, as is also 

 ventral; pectoral golden, a black bar across its base, the axil dark.
