B. T, D. ri-\., P- 15, V. 1/5, A. to^tt, C. 15, L. 1. 28, L. tr. 3/8. 



Length of head from 5i to 6, of caudal 2J to 3, height of body 3| in the total length, ^j/es— diameter 

 3 to ^ in length of head, 3/4 of a diameter from end of snout, and 1 apart. Preorbital narrow, about 1/3 widtfi 

 of orbit, suborbital ring of bones of nearly equal width. Teeth— about 40 in the upper jaw, in a single 

 compressed row, all have their summits notched. Fins—soib portions of dorsal, anal, and caudal lobes much 

 elongated, dorsal spines moderately strong, sub-equal in length from the third. OoZomto— purplish-black, rather 

 lighter on the abdomen, edges of scales sometimes with a lighter tinge : pectoral not so dark as other fins. 



Eahitat.— Cochin and the Andamans. The one figured (life-size) is from the Andamans. 



4. Glyphidodon notatus, Plate LXXXIII, fig. 5. 



Day, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1869, p. 521. 



B. T, D. ,J.^, P. 19, V. 1/5, A. TT?rT. C 17, L. 1. 28-30, L. tr. 4|/12. 



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

 the length of the head, 3/4 of a diameter from end of snout, and 1 apart. Greatest depth of the preorbital 

 equals 1/2 the diameter of the eye, the suborbital ring is unnotched and posteriorly decreases rapidly in width. 

 Greatest width of the head equals half its height. Teeth — ^narrow, compressed. Fins — ^third to sixth 

 dorsal spines the longest in the fin, rays much longer than the spines : caudal deeply forked. Scales — extend 

 forwards on the summit of the head to opposite the front edge of the eyes. Colours — olive brown, lightest 

 inferiorly, five narrow white bands pass from the back down the sides, the first from the first dorsal 

 spine to the base of the pectoral fin : the second from the third epine to the middle of the ventral : the third 

 from the seventh spine to the commencement of the anal : the fourth from the tenth to the middle of the anal : 

 and the fifth over the free portion of the tail. A black spot at the base of the pectoral: caudal yellowish. 



Habitat. — Andamans, to 3t inches in length. 



5. Glyphidodon septemfasciatus, Plate LXXXI, fig. 7.

B. V, D. if, P. 17, V. 1/5, A. ^, ,C. 17, L. 1. 29, L. tr. 3/11. 



Length of head 4?, of caudal 6, height of body 2| in the total length. Eyes — diameter 3^ in length of 

 head, \\ diameters from end of snout, and If apart. The greatest depth of the preorbital, which is not 

 notched, equals 3/4 of the diameter of the eye : whilst that of the suborbitals (below the eye) equals 2/3. 

 Fins — dorsal spines of moderate strength, the fourth to the sixth being the longest. Soft dorsal angular, the 

 fifth ray being the longest : caudal lobes broad, not very greatly emargiuate. Scales — on the head reach to 

 opposite the middle of the eye. Colours — greenish-olive, with seven dark cross bands wider than the ground 

 colour : the first, which is indistinct, from the summit of the head to the preopercle : the second from in front 

 of the dorsal fin to the base of the pectoral : the third, fourth, and fifth from the spinous dorsal : the sixth from 

 below the soft dorsal, and the seventh over the free portion of the tail. Spinous dorsal with a black edge and 

 a yellowish band below it. A black spot at base of pectoral. 



Habitat. — Seas of India to China. The specimen figured (life-size) is from Bombay.
