GLYPHIDODON, Cuvier. 

 GLYPHIDODON BROWNRIGGII, Bennett. 



Glyphidodon brownriggii, Bennett, Fishes of Ceylon, p. 8, pi. viii.; 



Giinther, Fische der Siidsee, p. 232, pi. cxxvii. (varieties). 

 A number of specimens was collected representing five varieties, 

 some of which have been specifically named, they are as follows : 



(1) The original form figured by Bennett. (Fishes of Ceylon, 

 pi. viii.) 



(2) Coloration uniform. (G. modestus, Bleeker, Atlas Ichth., 

 pi. cccciii., fig. 9.) 



(3) An oblique white band on the body, a dark spot on the 

 spinous dorsal, and a smaller one at the posterior base of the 

 soft dorsal. 



(4) Same as No. 3 but without the white body-band. 



(5) An oblique white band on the body, a dark one across the 

 base of the caudal. A dark spot on the spinous dorsal, and the 

 whole base of the soft dorsal dark. Anal wholly dark coloured. 



GLYPHIDODON SORDIDUS, Forsk. 



Glyphidodon sordidus, Forsk., Descr. Anim., p. 62 ; Bleeker, 

 Atlas Ichth., pi. ccccx., fig. 5. 



Three very young examples are credited to this species. In 

 addition to the large black spot on the upper surface of the 

 caudal pedicle, there is a small one at the base of the pectoral, 

 and a large black mark on the dorsal extending from the second 

 to the sixth spine ; as the transverse bands become fainter, so 

 this mark apparently disappears in adult examples : it is notice- 

 ably more pronounced in our smallest specimen (IS millim.), which 

 is little more than a third the length of the largest (48 millim.). 



GLYPHIDODON SEPTEM-PASCIATUS, Guv. & Vol. 



Glyphidodon septem-fasciatus, Cuv. & Val., Hist. Nat., v., p. 463 ; 



Bleeker, Atlas Ichth., pi. ccccix., fig. 5. 



One specimen, half-grown. Attaining larger dimensions than 

 some other members of the genus, this species has received a 

 native name, being known to the inhabitants as " Moutou 

 moutou." 



LA BRIDGE. 



CHILINUS, Cuvier. 



CHILINUS TRILOBATUS, Lactpede. 



Chilinus trilobatus, Lacepede, Poiss., iii., pp. 529, 537, pi. xxxi., 



fig. 3 ; Bleeker, Atlas Ichth., p. 66, pi. xxvii., fig. 2. 

 One example, a widely distributed species in the South Seas, 

 attains a length of two feet.
