344 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES. 



Of this rare species very few specimens are known. The specimens from the Hawaiian Islands 

 called mutticinclus are probably identical with Cli&lodon punclatofasciatus, originally described from an 

 unknown locality, but located by Bleeker in the East Indies. 



Bleeker finds 6 to 8 dark bars on his species, and figures 8. Those "seen by us, all from Hawaii, 

 have, like the type of Chxlodon multicinchis, but 6 bars.

Chsetodon manteltiger Jenkins, Bull. U. S. Fish Comm.,xix, 1899 (1901), 394, Honolulu. 



This little fish much resembles Chxlodon cilrinellus, but the lines of dots form vertical stripes, and 

 the anal is nearly plain, without the broad stripes of black and of glossy yellow characteristic of 

 Chxlodon citrinellus. Chxlodon miliaris seems to be confined to the Hawaiian Islands."

This species is distinguished from Chxlodon miliaris, which it much resembles, by a bright golden 

 stripe just above (dorsad) a ]et black stripe along the edge of the anal fin. The dark stripes extend 

 in most specimens for the whole length of the body. Chxlodon citrinellus is one of the smallest 

 species, rarely exceeding four inches. It is common about the coral reefs of Samoa. We have 15 

 specimens from Pago Pago and 50 from Apia. 



Life colors ot a specimen from Apia, dull light yellow olive, with series of blue spots along rows 

 of scales; lorehead brown, clear, ocular band narrowly edged above on both sides with grayish white, 

 this border yellow-washed in larger examples, anal with a broad, black edge above a band of bright 

 yellow; caudal plain orange, rather bright; soft dorsal yellow, with a narrow black, then a white line.

This species is rather common about Samoa, 42 specimens being in our collection. It is rather 

 rare about Honolulu, where it is taken, however. We have one young example corresponding to 

 Chxlodon tau-nigrum. The species is common in the East Indies. 



o We may here add an uncertain species: 

 Chsetodon species. 



Chsetodon miliaris GUnther, Fische der Sudsee, 46, in part; coloration of taf. 35, fig. a, taken from a drawing by 

 Garrett. 



The coloration shown in Gunther's plate of Chsetodon miliaris is not at all that of the species in question, which is not 

 known outside ot Hawaii. We nave notes on two young examples from Samoa corresponding to Gunther's plate, but we 

 have not Deen able to find the specimens lrorn which the notes were taken. These probably represent a species still 

 undesenbed. 



Life colors of a specimen from Apia, olive yellow; clear yellow on head and breast; small bright blue stripes along 

 rows of scales; soft dorsal with black edge, anal with a wider one, and a white stripe at base with one at edge; a black 

 blotch on base ol caudal peduncle, with two bright yellow spots and edged betore and behind with pale; caudal behind 

 bar whitish. Young. 



Another specimen, irom the same locality, was gray with oblique dark blue stripes upward and backward; whole 

 outline ot body deep golden yellow; ocular band broad, the part before it golden; dorsal and anal all golden, the soit 

 dorsal dark at base and with a dark edge, tne dorsal and anal brighter yellow near the edge; caudal colorless, a broad 

 black oar at base surrounded by golden, this net on the fin.
