 6467, 6481, 6490, 6497, 6520, 6544, 6674.) 



Scisenoides biauritus Cantor.

SILLAGINID^E. (Whitings) 



Sillago sihama (Forskal). 



One specimen, length, 165 millimeters. (6480.) 

 Sillago maculata Quoy and Gaimard. 



Two specimens, length, 141 to 165 centimeters. (6471, 6532.) 



CEPOLIDvE. (Bandfishes)

CIRRHITID^E. (Sea goldfishes) 



Cirrhitities aureus (Temm. and Schleg.). 



When alive these fish were golden in color, but in alcohol 5 or 

 more very indistinct dusky vertical bands are visible on the 

 body. It is probable that C. oxycephalic of Bleeker and C. 

 aureus Temminck and Schlegel are the some species. These 

 specimens have teeth on vomer and palatine. One specimen 

 has the first dorsal ray prolonged into a filament. (6585, 8654.)

 Duymseria flagellifera Jordan and Snyder, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 

 (1902), 24, 623. 



This species exhibits a large variety of color patterns, and 

 shows great diversity in the length of the dorsal filaments. All 

 of our specimens show the black tip to opercle. (6563, 6567, 

 6569, 6600, 6609, 6641, 6651.)
