different coloration. It is also related to Callyodon lauia, but differs in the much greater depth, the less 
produced caudal lobes, the greater width of the green head markings, and the color of the fins. 
Only one specimen was obtained, type No. 50647, U. S. X. M. (field No. 02944), 14 inches long, 
taken at Honolulu June 6.

283. Callyodon gilberti (Jenkins). ‘‘Panuk6.nv.hti.” Fig. 154. 
Head 2.75 in length; depth 2.44; eye 6.6 in head; snout 2.8; preorbital 5; interorbital 3; D. ix, 
10; A. in, 9; P. 14; scales 2-24-6. 
Body moderately deep and compressed; dorsal and ventral outlines about equally convex; head 
short, scarcely longer than deep; mouth small, horizontal, on axis of body; teeth whitish, lower jaw 
included; 2 short but strong canines at posterior angle of upper jaw, a similar 1 on lower jaw; 
upper lip broad, covering whole of dental plate, lower lip covering about half of lower plate; eye small, 
entirely above axis of body; interorbital space broad, high. 
Scales large'and thin, a row of modified scales along base of dorsal and anal; scales on base of 
caudal very large and thin; 2 rows of scales on cheek, the upper with 7, the lower with 4 or 5 scales; 
a series of scales along margin of opercle and on subopercle. 4 scales along median line in front of 
dorsal; lateral line interrupted under the last dorsal rays, reappearing 2 rows farther down and con¬ 
tinuing to caudal fin, the tubes with 1 to 3 or 4 short branches. 
Dorsal spines short and flexible, not pungent, their length about, 3.5 in head; soft dorsal higher, 
the last rays longest, about 2.4 in head; first anal spine obscure, the others soft and flexible; soft anal 
similar to soft dorsal but less high, the last rays 3 in head; caudal moderately lunate, the outer rays 
moderately produced, about one-half longer than middle rays, centrals rather long, their length not 
reaching origin of anal by a distance equal to half distance from tip of snout to middle of pupil; pec¬ 
torals broad, the free edge oblique, length of Upper rays 1.3 in head. 
Color in spirits, upper part of head and body greenish or bluish purple; side bluish green on the 
edges of the scales, underparts paler; upper lip with a broad blue-green line extending on side of 
head across lower border of orbit to middle of preopercle; 2 short blue-green lines on postocular 
region; snout above lip with a broad paler band extending back to eye; edge of lower lip bluish green, 
connecting at, angle of mouth with the blue line from upper lip, back of this a broad pale purplish 
crossbar eoncolor with the cheek, this bounded posteriorly by a broad, bright-blue crossbar reaching to 
lower edge of postorbital; middle of lower jaw with a broad white crossbar, behind which is an oblong 
blue area; median line of throat and breast bright blue, this extending backward between ventrals to 
origin of anal; dorsal bright greenish-blue at base and on border, these 2 lines separated by a much
