FISHES OF HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 
625 
are on caudal peduncle, the series of prickles decreasing in number toward head, the scales on nape 
and cheeks being largely smooth; scales greatly reduced in size on nape and on breast and belly, in 4 
oblique rows on cheeks; breast flat, without ridge, no enlarged or carinated plates on breast or belly; 
dorsal and anal fins in narrow scaleless grooves, bounded by series of enlarged scales, each of which is 
crossed by an oblique spinous ridge; 11 or 12 such scales along base of soft dorsal and anal fins; 
they decrease in size anteriorly along the base of spinous dorsal, finally merging into the smaller 
scales of back and nape; lateral line less arched than the back, but reaching axis of body first on 
caudal peduncle; six lengthwise series of scales between lateral line and base of soft dorsal. 
Color grayish silvery, overlaid with more or less steel-gray, and with some plumbeous streaks and 
markings; a plumbeous bar below eye, involving posterior end of mandibles; a narrow plumbeous 
streak along middle of caudal penduncle, expanding posteriorly to cover whole base of tail; above and 
below this streak the caudal peduncle is flesh-colored, as is also the snout, interorbital region, jaws, 
and branchiostegals; spinous dorsal blackish, light at base; other fins whitish, unmarked; narrow 
blackish streaks on supraorbital ridge, diverging from middle of snout to margin of preorbital, on lips 
and along mandibles. 
Capromimus abbreviatus (Hector) is described and figured by Gunther (Deep-sea Fishes, Chal- 
lenger, 1887, 42, PI. X, fig. B) as having smooth scales and naked palate. Antigonia mulleri Klunzinger 
(Sitzungsb. Akad. Wissen. Wien, LXXX, 1880, 380, PL V, fig. 3) is placed by Gunther in the syn- 
onymy of abbreviatus, but the author gives no indication of the nature of the scales or of the dentition. 
In the original description of C. abbreviatus (Hector, Trans. N. Z. Inst., vii, 1875, 239-250) the scales 
are said to be “very narrow and rough.” 
Only the type is known.
