 30. HjTporhamphus quoyi (Cuvier & ^'alenciennes) . 



Three specimens from Bacon (no. 3460, 3617, and 3618; length 7 to 9.1 in.).

31. Hyporhamplius dussumierii (Cu\iei- & 'N'alcni'iennes). 



Four specimens from Bacon (no. 4005 and 3902; length 2.25 to 4.5 in.), and one from Bulan (no. 3739; 

 length 10 in.). 



We have compared these specimens with others from Sa luoa identified by Jordan and Scale as JB. affinis and 

 find them indistinguishable, and we regard B. affinis Giinther as a synonym of H. dussumierii.
