22. Anthias kellog'g'i Jordan & Evermann, new species. 
Head 2.5 in length; depth 2.5; eye 4.5 in head; snout 3.6; maxillary 2; interorbital 5.4; D. xi, 15; 
A. in, 7; P. 15; scales 4-36-10; gillrakers 16 + 4. 
Body short, deep, and compressed; dorsal outline greatly arched, profile from origin of spinous 
dorsal to tip of snout nearly straight, being gently concave over interorbital space; ventral outline 
nearly straight; caudal peduncle compressed, its greatest depth 3 in head; head longer than deep; 
snout bluntly pointed, lower jaw prominent, slightly the longer; mouth large, nearly horizontal; a 
narrow band of small, sharp, conic teeth on palatines, a small patch on vomer, a band of cardiform 
teeth on upper jaw, a narrower band in lower jaw; several large canine teeth in each jaw anteriorly, 
3 of these close together on middle of each side of lower jaw, these hooked backward; 6 or 8 large 
pores on lower side of mandible and several on upper part of snout; maxillary reaching to posterior 
edge of orbit, its greatest width 1.5 in eye; edge of preopercle above angle and edge of opercle below 
the upper middle of base of pectoral denticulate; 2 broad opercular spines, the upper the larger; eye 
anterior, its lower edge on line with upper base of pectoral; fins large, the second soft dorsal ray and 
upper rays of upper caudal lobe being produced each as a filament, the dorsal filament being produced 
half its length beyond rest of fin; dorsal spines stout and strong, the first spine 2.3 in third, the fifth 
being the highest, 2.5 in head; base of spinous dorsal 1.15 in head; base of soft dorsal 2.3 in head, its 
fourth ray 3.5 in head, the last ray 1.4 in fourth; caudal truncate, the lower rays produced slightly as 
a filament, but not nearly so long as the upper lobe; second anal spine longest, 2.5 in head; second 
soft ray longest, 2 in head; pectoral very long and large, reaching to origin of soft anal, the eighth 
and ninth rays from the top the longest, 1.4 in head; scales large, finely ctenoid, in regular series; 
entire body and head scaled; basal portion of all fins except spinous dorsal with small scales; lateral 
line strongly convex, not concurrent with the dorsal profile, becoming straight on middle of caudal 
peduncle; one row of scales behind tip of last dorsal ray. 
Color in alcohol, pale brown, the fins lighter; in life, red. 
Only three specimens of this species were obtained, all having been taken with the hook in deep 
water off Kailua, in southwestern Hawaii. It is allied to Anthias japonicus Steindachner & Doderlein. 
Named for Dr. Vernon Lyman Kellogg, professor of entomology in Stanford University.

Family APOGONIDvE. The King of the Mullets. 
23. Apogonichthys waikiki Jordan & Evermann, new species. 
Head 2.4 in length; depth 3; eye 3.2 in head; snout 4.6; interorbital 6; maxillary 2; D. vii-i, 8; 
A. n, 7 ; scales 2-24-5. 
Body short, stout, and compressed; dorsal outline strongly arched from tip of snout to posterior 
base of soft dorsal; ventral outline comparatively straight from tip of mandible to origin of anal; vent 
immediately in front of origin of anal; caudal peduncle deep and compressed; head rather large; 
mouth large, slightly oblique, jaws equal, maxillary reaching posterior edge of pupil; eye rather small, 
slightly above axis of body; interorbital space narrow, little convex; opercular and preorbital bones 
entire; a band of small villiform teeth in each jaw, and on vomer and palatines; fins moderate, origin 
of spinous dorsal nearer base of last soft ray than tip of snout; first dorsal spine very short, second 
about half length of third, which is equal to eye and snout; base of soft dorsal equal to depth of 
caudal peduncle; longest dorsal rays 2.25 in head; caudal rounded, its length 1.75 in head; origin of 
anal slightly posterior to that of soft dorsal, its longest rays 2.4 in head; pectoral slender, reaching 
past origin of anal, its length 1.5 in head; ventrals short, barely reaching origin of anal, their length 
nearly 2 in head; scales large, weakly ctenoid, firm and somewhat deeper than long; lateral line 
strongly developed, following outline of back until under last dorsal ray, where it curves downward, 
following middle line of caudal peduncle to base of caudal fin.
