the upper somewhat obscure; teeth conical, in a single series in eacli jaw; third dorsal spine the longest, 
1.8 in head; longest dorsal rays somewhat longer than third dorsal spine; soft dorsal rounded some- 
what higher than spinous portion; soft anal rounded 1.4 in head; caudal deeply emarginate, the upper 
lobe slightly the longer, the longest rays scarcely equaling the head; pectoral broad, 1.3 in head; ven- 
trals nearly reaching vent; all parts of the body and head, except portion of snout anterior to nostril 
and tip of lower jaw, covered with scales; lateral line developed; tubes on 20 scales, reaching to within 
3 scales of base of last dorsal ray, where it ceases; bases of all tins scaled. 
Color in alcohol, body and head a pale brown, lighter toward the ventral region; on the lower 
third of body faint traces of longitudinal rows of pearly dots corresponding to the scales; tins pale and 
without markings, no spot on anterior spinous dorsal and none at base of pectoral. 
This description is based on the type, No. 50703, U. S. N. M., 2.5 inches long, and 8 smaller 
cotypes taken by me in 1889. They were caught in the coral rocks in the reef in front of Honolulu. 
111. Chromis ovalis (Steindachner). 
Three examples, each 6 inches in length, were taken by me, and one of same length by Dr. Wood. 
This species appears to be the one described by Steindachner, although in his description the measure- 
ment of the body-height as 3.3 in the body-length must be an error. My description of this species 
was in the hands of the printer at the time Steindachner’ s paper appeared, and his paper did not reach 
me until after my paper was published.

112. Pomacentrus jenkinsi Jordan & Evermann. 
Numerous specimens taken by me in 1889. This small species is very common about the reef.

113. Glyphisodon abdominalis Cuvier & Valenciennes. 
Color in life, bands distinct to lower two-thirds of body, yellow between the bands; white below. 
This fish is fairly abundant at Honolulu. Ten examples, 4.4 to 8.25 inches in length, were 
obtained; and two, 5.25 and 7.6 inches, are in the collection of Jordan & Snyder.

114. Glyphisodon sordidus (Forskal). 
Color in life (field No. 163, 5.8 inches), gray, with 5, not very distinct, dark crossbands; a black 
spot on upper part of base of pectoral; black spot on caudal peduncle next to posterior part of dorsal 
fin; upper part of spinous dorsal yellow. 
Two adults, 5.5 and 5.8 inches long, and six from 0.8 to 1.3 inches in length, were obtained at 
Honolulu. Mr. McGregor obtained one 1.6 inches long at Lahaina, Maui. This species is not as fre- 
quently seen in the market as the preceding.
