Length of head 4i, of caudal 41 to 4f, height of body 2^ to 2f in the total length. %es -diameter 3 to 

 3| in length of head, 1 diameter from end of snout, and l^ apart. Dorsal profile more convex than the 

 abdominal. Preorbital and suborbital ring of bones denticulated: vertical limb of preopercle likewise 

 serrated : opercle and sub-opercle spinate, also in two distinct patches on the opercle. The maxilla reaches to 

 under the anterior edge of the orbit. Teeth — in a single conical row in both jaws. Mns — dorsal spines strong 

 and lower than the rays, the fin is scarcely notched : caudal lobed, the upper slightly the longer. Scales — 

 some over the soft dorsal and anal fins. Lateral-line — ^tubes cease opposite the posterior extremity of 

 soft dorsal fin. Golowrs — ^light brown, with three milk-white cross bands, the first passing from in front 

 of the dorsal fin, over the opercles just touching the posterior edge of the orbit, and is continued on to the inter- 

 and sub-opercles : the second, commencing at the base of the last five dorsal spines, passes to the front of the 

 base of the anal fin : the third crosses the free portion of the tail. Snout, chest, pectoral, and caudal yeUow. 



Sabitat. — Red Sea, Ceylon, to the Malay Archipelago and beyond.

Length of head 3f to 4, of caudal 4 to 4|, height of body 2f to 3 in the total length. Eyes — diameter 

 3| to 4 in length of head, 1 diameter from end of snout, and also apart. Opercle and subopercle strongly 

 denticulated : suborbital ring of bones spinate. The maxilla reaches to below the front edge of the eye. 

 Fins — dorsal spines strong, the second to the fourth the highest, but not equalling the soft dorsal. Caudal 

 ■wedge-shaped or rounded. Lateral-line — ceases below about the fourth dorsal ray, and from the thirtieth to 

 thirty.fourth scale. Golov/rs — ground colour bright yellow, with three broad milk-white cross bands having a 

 black edging, the anterior being convex, the convexity being forwards over the hind part of the head. The 

 centre one from the middle of the dorsal fin to the vent, and the posterior one over the free portion of 

 tail. Pectoral and caudal deep yellow or brownish yellow, having a broad white edge which has a narrow 

 black base : dorsal and anal yellow with a white edge having a black base : ventral yellow, with a black 

 extremity. In some specimens the posterior white band «on the body is continued along either side of 

 the caudal fin. 



Habitat. — Seas of India to the Malay Archipelago and beyond. The specimen figured (life-size) is from 

 the Andamans, where it was taken from inside an Actinia.
