Color in alcohol, very pale or whitish, greater portion of side pale olive gray; about 8 dark -gray 
lines running obliquely up from head to dorsal, and others posteriorly above lateral Hub; side with 
about 11 oblique dark-gray lines running to anal; a broad dark-brown band beginning on nape before

Described from an example (No. 04562) 6.25 inches long, from Honolulu. 
We have 28 specimens, 4 to 8.2 inches long, from Honolulu, where the fish is common. Others 
were secured at that place by the Albatross. The species occurs also at Johnston Island and Samoa.
