FISHES FROM THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 
187 
from tip of snout to middle of pupil, third ray longest, 3.2 in head; base of spinous dorsal 1.4 in third 
spine; base of soft dorsal 1.4 in longest spine; origin of spinous dorsal nearer last dorsal ray than tip of 
snout by longitudinal diameter of pupil; distance between dorsals 1.5 in eye; length of caudal peduncle 
1.5 in head; pectoral long, pointed, slightly falcate, 1.4; ventrals slightly longer, 1.3; last anal ray 2.9, 
equal to base of tin; caudal shallowly forked, lobes 1.3 in head, middle rays 2.75 in upper lobe; scales 
finely ctenoid and obscurely dendritic; lateral line concurrent with the back, the pores with few 
branches, the number usually not exceeding 5 or 6; 2 scales between the dorsals, 8 on dorsal side of 
caudal peduncle; peritoneum somewhat silvery. 
Color when fresh, deep scarlet red, especially a shade from snout through eye toward tail; first 
dorsal plain scarlet, second paler golden with oblique stripes of scarlet and yellow edge; caudal orange; 
reddish at base, yellowish at tip; anal like second dorsal; pectoral pale orange; ventrals deep red; 
barbels bright yellow; iris red. In life, a pale streak backward from eye to middle of side parallel 
with back; side with 2 blotches of deep red; a row of dark spots along bases of both dorsals; young of 
3 inches, from the rock pools, in life, dark olive green above with a dark olive streak along lateral line 
and 3 dark shades under first dorsal, second dorsal, and back of caudal peduncle; tip of first dorsal 
cherry-red, edged with white; second dorsal and caudal translucent, scarcely reddish; ventrals and 
anal bright cherry-red, former mesially dusky; barbels golden. 
Color in alcohol, pale yellowish; each scale below dorsal with brownish edgings, generally most 
distinct in young and often entirely disappearing with age; a series of smaller obscure spots along 
median line from opercle to tip of pectoral; sides and under parts with faint traces of rosy. 
This species may be known by the series of dusky blotches along each side of the dorsal fin and 
by the simple structure of the lateral line. In life it is at once known by its golden barbels. 
The above description based upon a specimen (field No. 03929), 8 inches long, obtained at Honolulu, 
in 1898, by Dr. Wood. We have examined 4 other specimens of approximately the same size obtained 
at the same time, and numerous examples collected by us at Honolulu and Hilo.
