New Britain; Tahiti; East Indies. 



Amphacanthus marmoratus Quoy & Gaimard, Voy. Uranie, Zool., 367, 1824, Guam. 



Teuthis marmoratus Gunther, Fische der Siidsee, 93, Caroline Is. Peters, Berl. Mon., 1876, 835, Amboina, New Han- 

 over, New Britain. 

 Siganas marmoratus Seale, Bishop Museum 1901, 111, Guam. 



Amphacanthus guamensis Cuvier & Valenciennes, Hist. Nat. Poiss., x, 163, 1835, Guam. 

 Amphacanthus scaroides Bleeker, Nat. Tijds., 853, 262, East Indies. 

 Teuthis striolata Gunther, Fische der Siidsee, taf. lix, fig. A (not description), Samoa, Tahiti. 



This species is very common about Samoa. We have 40 specimens from Apia and Pago Pago. 



It is possible that the specimens called Teulhis striolata by Gunther, from Samoa, belong to this 

 species, which is very close to Siganus striolatus, the body a little deeper than in the latter. Giinther's 

 figure of striolatus is much like Siganus marmoratus except that the body in the latter is deeper and the 

 fins more sharply banded. In the type of striolatus the fins are said to be immaculate. 



Life colors of a specimen from Apia called lo, olive green above, livid gray below; vermiculations 

 of bluish gray around dark olive; fins similar, browner, also vermiculated or blotched. 



1223. Siganus nebuiosus (Quoy & Gaimard). Guam; East Indies. 



Amphacanthus nebuiosus Quoy & Gaimard, Voy. Uranie, 1824, 369, Timor, Guam, Port Jackson. 

 Amphacanthus maculosus Quoy & Gaimard, op. cit, 370. 



This mottled species we have not seen, and it may not belong to the South Seas. Probably the 

 specimens from Guam belong to Siganus marmoratus.
