FISHES OF HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 
617 
broad bands; both upper and lower margins of suborbital bones, preopercle, and subopercle minutely 
serrated; gill-rakers long, 4 + 9 in number; anterior portion of dorsal fin sharply falcate, longest ray 
twice length of fifth spine; ventrals extending but halfway to vent; upper caudal lobe apparently 
longer than lower. 
Scales much larger than in P. japonica, although the number of pores in the course of the lateral 
line is about the same. Snout and a narrow strip along each superior orbital rim scaleless, the scales 
forming an uninterrupted wedge-shaped extension forward on middle of interorbital space; an oblique 
line running backward from above middle of orbit contains 7 scales; a low sheath of scales along 
base of dorsal and anal fins, consisting of a single series along anterior portion of base of each fin ; 
caudal scaled in the greater part of its length. 
Color, back olivaceous, anteriorly with the distal portion of each scale largely dusky, posteriorly 
each scale with a black intramarginal line; lower half of sides and belly bright iridescent-silvery; 
opercles dusky; mouth and gill-cavity white; peritoneum blackish; fins translucent, the anterior 
dorsal lobe with a black tip, which is continued forward as a narrow margin over the spinous portion 
of the fin; terminal part of upper caudal lobe blackish. 
I take pleasure in naming this species for Mr. Louis E. Berndt, market inspector in Honolulu, to 
whose kind assistance the expedition owed much of its success. The type of the present species was 
secured for us by Mr. Berndt in the Honolulu market. It was not recognized by the fishermen, and 
doubtless lives at greater depths than the market fishes. The single cotype was taken at station 4115, 
off the northwest coast of Oahu, depth 195 to 241 fathoms. 
Family BRAMID^. 
Collybus drachme Snyder. 
Taken at station 4176, near Niihau, 537 to 672 fathoms. The type of this species, certainly entered 
the trawl at or near the surface. 
Family APOGONICHTHYID^. 
Amia maculifera (Garrett). 
Station 3875, in channel between Maui and Lanai, in 34 to 65 fathoms. 
Foa brachygramma (Jenkins). 
Stations Nos. 3847, off the south coast of Molokai, 23 to 24 fathoms; 3849, south coast of Molokai, 
43 to 73 fathoms; 3872, channel between Maui and Lanai, 32 to 43 fathoms; 3873, channel between 
Maui and Lanai, 32 to 37 fathoms; 3875, channel between Maui and Lanai, 34 to 65 fathoms; 3876, 
channel between Maui and Lanai, 28 to 43 fathoms. 
Mionorus waikiki (Jordan & Evermann). 
Stations Nos. 3872, channel between Maui and Lanai, 32 to 43 fathoms, and 3876, channel between 
Maui and Lanai, 28 to 43 fathoms. 
Hynnodus, new genus. 
Like Epigonus, but the palatines with teeth, and the body much more elongate; 2 anal spines; 
minute teeth in jaws and on vomer and palatines; all the bones of head unarmed except the opercle, 
which bears a single spine; eyes very large; tubes of lateral line very large, each scale perforated by a 
canal which opens on the outer surface beneath an antero-posterior bridge, on the dorsal and ventral 
side of which are wide external pores. 
Epigonus occidentalis Goode and Bean may be a member of this genus, although it is said to have 
the vomer and palatines toothless. 
Hynnodus Gilbert, new genus of Apogonichthyidse ( alherinoides ).
