This species is common on the sandy shores of Samoa, where it reaches a considerable size. It 

 may be readily distinguished from Platophrys panthertnus by the larger number of anal rays (about 80) , 

 by the more varied coloration, by the form of the arch of the lateral line, and by other characters. It 

 has been found at Johnston Island, but has not yet been recorded from Hawaii. We have 6 specimens, 

 large and small, from Apia and Pago Pago. 



Life colors of a specimen from Apia, yellowish gray; spots bluish gray with rim of darker gray; those 

 on fins grayish white and grayish orange; 2 dark spots on lateral line.

 Passer marchioncssarum Valenciennes, Voy. Venus, Poiss., 344, pi. 9, Marquesas Is. 



This species is very common about Hawaii. It is not rare about Samoa, where it is confounded 

 with Platophrys mancus by the natives under the name of all We have 4 specimens from Apia. It 

 is easily distinguished on comparison of specimens, the constantly smaller number of anal rays being 

 diagnostic.
